Ambulances park upwind and uphill from hazardous material incidents to minimize exposure to toxic substances and to take advantage of the natural dispersion of hazardous fumes or gases. Being upwind ensures that the wind carries contaminants away from the responders and victims, while positioning uphill helps prevent hazardous materials from flowing toward them in case of spills. This strategic placement enhances the safety of emergency personnel and allows for a safer evacuation and treatment of individuals affected by the incident.
