Pertaining to the height of window from the ground, what is acceptable to the SFM?
The Life Safety Code permits the use of a window as the secondary means of escape if the window is within 20 ft. of grade, or leads to an outside balcony, or if the window is accessible to the local fire department. The OSFM will assist owners of residential board and care facilities in determining if secondary escape windows are accessible to local fire departments.
