 21374 - How to Deal with Fire Escapes in the Twenty-First Century $18.00   
Select Format:

Presenter: Carl Baldassarra

This session involves a review of the history and use of fire escapes. Although fire escapes are no longer recognized as an acceptable egress component in new construction, there are hundreds of existing buildings in the built environment that have them. This session reviews the history and evolution of the code provisions (both NFPA and legacy model building codes), why incorporating fire escapes in new construction is no longer recognized, how to maintain them, and what is necessary to remove them. Typical project-related issues involve the following: what needs to be done with fire escapes when a building undergoes major renovation; what must be done for proper maintenance; and what is needed to remove fire escapes from an existing building? This is a subject which has not received significant attention in previous NFPA conferences. The session will speak to a number of actual case studies and the presentation will be highly illustrated.
