You need to ask your local fire department planning and engineering section what exactly they want. They are probably talking about something like this:
II. Fire Access:
All buildings shall have fire engine access within 150’ of any portion of the building. Roads shall be all weather and capable of supporting a 40,000 lb apparatus and provide an inside turn radius of 39’. Fire access roads greater than 150 ft shall be provided with a turnaround using the Gilroy Fire Department template. Fire access shall not have a slope greater than 15 %, nor be less than 20 ft in width. Fire access to be reviewed and approved by Fire Prevention.
