Keeping your exits clear in case of an emergency
From the NFPA Manual "Exit Discharge:
One element of means of egress that is often overlooked is that portion of the exit discharge on the exterior of the building. The means of egress is required to extend without interruption to a public way. Frequently, adequate interior exits lead only to muddy yard or an obstructed walkway. this is particularly true of exits not normally used in the course of daily activities. Even where proper exterior exits are provided, they frequently become cluttered with trash storage or other combustible materials when they normally are not used as exits. Make sure that the Means of Egress are kept clear at all times."
Could you escape a fire out of this back door?
