Compliance alternatives for inadequate number of exits

Compliance alternatives for an inadequate number of exits include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) Provide connecting fire-exit balconies acceptable to the enforcement authority between buildings; (2) Provide alternate exit or egress facilities leading to safety outside the building or to a place of safe refuge in the building or an adjoining building as acceptable to the enforcement authority; (3) Provide an exterior fire escape or escapes as acceptable to the enforcement authority where the providing of enclosed interior or enclosed exterior stairs is not practical; or (4) Install early fire warning and fire suppression systems.
