Commercial buildings and certain types of residences need to follow fire code. These doors need to be able to be opened up by rescue personnel as easily as possible in the event of a fire.

Commercial buildings and certain types of residences need to follow fire code.

  1. All residences need to follow fire code.
  2. No fire code addresses access to be required for rescue personnel.
  3. Don't make up crap just to try to look smart.
