How do ambulances access gated communities in off hours?

Let's say you have someone with a medical emergency and they call for an ambulance. All they can say is the address and it's an emergency before they pass out, or for whatever reason can no longer communicate.
If it's like 3AM, when the ambulance pulls up to the gate how do they get in without having a code? It doesn't seem like they'd just ram full speed through the gate. Do they have like a universal code or something they put in?

Same way UPS drivers, pizza delivery drivers, etc do
Most of them have a universal code. At least thats how it works in my subdivision.

Pretty sure something like this

Pretty sure the community is required to tell the city the code

Look man, your plan to rob the houses on Audubon Place and get away with it because of the confused cops at the gate holds no water.

I don't think pizza delivery guys have access to gated communities like emergency personnel does

I know some places have little boxes that have a button to open the gate. It's locked up and the fire department has a key.

They all have codes. They may change them periodically, but they let certain groups know. When I was a delivery driver, we'd always find out what they were and post it up so that everyone would know.

Usually a locked box for emergency use only. It should be red near a pad.
Some communities require a main entrance and a "crash" gate that's emergency entry/exit only and stays locked off a secondary street.
Newer ones have electronic recognition.

That's the price you pay for living in a gated community. Hope your life insurance is paid up.

A lot of the time the code is actually 911
