Overview
The City of Toronto's diagram of fire department access to a garden suite, dated February 28, 2025 and linked from its guidance on providing that access.

Labels give travel distance (a) from fire hydrant to fire truck at up to 45 metres and travel distance (b) from fire truck to the suite entrance at up to 45 metres, or 90 with an additional fire-safety measure, and the unobstructed path at 0.9 or 1.0 metres wide.
