Pompiers: in France, the fire service not only puts out fires, it also does what paramedics do in the UK.

(reserved) for fire services (only)
For circulations voie pompiers I'd suggest "reserved for fire services/for fire services only"(could generalise to emergency services).
13T à l'essieu: delivery area limited to lorries not exceeding 13T axle weight.
It sounds like restrictions imposed in a parking/delivery area of a building.

Fire service
IS more appropriate than "emergency services". An injured person can be carried to an ambulance, but water cannot be sprayed onto a burning building if the fire truck can't get close enough (or if it sinks into the mud, as the "grande échelle" did when they came to put a tarp on my roof after the 1999 storm - may lawn still bears the marks!), so there are regulations about having special fire-service access a set distance from buildings.
