Most deaths caused by building fires occur in homes, yet the National Fire Protection Association reports that only about 23 percent of households have actually developed and practiced a home fire escape plan to ensure they could escape quickly and safely. When fires occur in high-rise buildings, great numbers of persons are required to travel vertically down stairs in order to evacuate so it is especially important to have a plan for evacuation. This course covers how building interiors are designed to prevent fires and help people escape. This is, perhaps, the most valuable information that interior designers should know about building systems.
