Most fire codes accept the scientific data that indicates that wood burns in a fire. Depending on a wooden staircase in the event of a conflagration does not seem to be the best idea in the Fireman's Almanac. I wrote about these things before. Many of the congresspersons who are responsible for those burdens we all are subject too, are excused from those same regulations, like OSHA rules about fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, handicapped rest rooms, and the like. Open electric cords running hither and yon across floors, non-GFI outlets in bathrooms and kitchens, and other risky violations are usually noticed right away by building inspectors. Maybe my belief is incorrect and the wooden fire escape is just fine. It just seems counterintuitive.
