Underground parking garages in high-density megacities are high-risk environments where strong confinement and large fire loads pose severe safety threats. In this study, an evaluation model is proposed based on the entropy weight method combined with dynamic traffic conditions to determine the regional fire service accessibility index . Taking Shenzhen, a megacity in China, as the study area, POI data were used to identify 510 fire stations as supply points and 3378 underground parking garages as demand points, yielding 165,522 samples across 49 evaluation scenarios. The results show that the overall average travel time, distance, and velocity are 388.17 s, 2217.95 m, and 5.84 m/s. fluctuates between 0.572 and 0.813, demonstrating clear time-of-day differences. The overall average for all 49 scenarios is 0.697, corresponding to Grade “C”, representing the general level of regional fire service accessibility. It is recommended that additional fire resources be deployed during peak hours and that fire station layouts in peripheral areas be optimized to improve fire safety in underground parking garages.
