emergency station


Explanation:
For "SOS výklenok" have a look at a picture of safety features in a tunnel here : http://www.dublinporttunnel.ie/safety/ It is a website of The Dublin Port Tunnel (which is 6km long ), where fire points, exits & safety equipment are explained.
"SOS kabína" would translate as emergency cabin

Example sentence(s):
  • Emergency Stations. Emergency Stations on the left have direct telephones to Operator and fire extinguishers.
