I am trying to find out if the fire pump breaker can be in the same cubical with other life safety distribution breakers, or does it have to be in its own cubical
This is for paralleing gear in a hospital.

Take a look at 700.9(B). It outlines the rules for permitting two or more emergency circuits from the same source to be in the same box or cabinet. Also, take a look at FPN N0. 3 in NEC 700.1. A fire pump system can be considered an emergency system because it could be supplied from an emergency source.

Look at 695, especially 695.4(B)(2) 695.6(B).
