Sentence 3.4.7.5.(3)

Intent 1:

To exempt fire escapes from the width requirements of Article 3.4.3.1. to 3.4.3.3. and permit a reduction in width on the basis that the fire escapes:

• are limited to buildings under a certain number of storeys [height], and
• serve a limited number of persons.

This is to limit the probability of delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place in an emergency situation, which could lead to harm to persons.
