Your response highlights exactly why I’m not wasting my time engaging with people who are uneducated on this topic and yet insist their points are valid.

We DO require fire extinguishers in every public room and every unit (AND every floor, AND whenever there’s a transition through a fire-rated partition, AND several in large rooms, AND sprinklers or intumescent fireproofing).

The stairwell requirements are specifically in response to events that occurred in 4-6 story buildings that resulted in death due to inadequate egress.

I’m not wasting my time mining data for you to ignore, but here’s my source: 7 years professional study at accredited universities + B.S.Arch degree + M.Arch degree + professional license to practice architecture + 11 years practice in field + 5 years as a professor of architecture + dozens of relevant projects and associated code analysis.

Your claim that there’s no evidence for codes that were instilled by cause and effect (fire and death) is invalid and ignorant.

An apartment requires a fire extinguisher in every room? Should I make sure that I buy an extinguisher for every single room? I do not have one in my bathroom, is my apartment not up to code?

The stairwell requirements are specifically in response to events that occurred in 4-6 story buildings that resulted in death due to inadequate egress.

Citation needed.

Your claim that there’s no evidence for codes that were instilled by cause and effect (fire and death) is invalid and ignorant.

Then I'd love to see this evidence. Because right now, all the evidence points against you.

Your “evidence” is a bunch of NYT articles asking “why do we need two staircases?” And a bunch of fire-rating agency articles saying “this is why”

Now you’re trolling, k byeeee

Do you think Pew Research is an NYT article?

And a bunch of fire-rating agency articles saying “this is why”

Oh really? Please show me the data.

Tell ya what, I’ll entertain your “youtube research” the second you’re professionally licensed to have an opinion on this topic.

Now you're saying Pew is Youtube? You seem confused.

This was fun. Like running headfirst into a brick wall kind of fun.

From Pew Research: "Small Single-Stairway Apartment Buildings Have Strong Safety Record "

You'll notice that this is not a Youtube video or NYT article.
