egress

When they realize that the man who opens the door isn’t what he seems — there is no Mrs. Reed, the front door is locked, the windows too small for egress — they do their best to play along and then, when things become more dire, to escape.

To do so would require a comprehensive examination of the existing fire risks of older buildings, proactively removing them, and thinking more carefully about how vulnerable people will get out - concentrating as much on “disabled egress” as disabled access.

The most egregious example will likely remain the landlocked Sammamish Plateau that should have been focused outward toward the urban centers of Issaquah and Redmond but is now a jurisdiction forever caught between those cities with invisible boundaries, no control over ingress and egress, and an inward vision that will only become more problematic over time.

Those specific locations would contribute to modulating the viral replication cycle, adaptability, and path of entry and egress.

“A significant fire engulfed the door and part of the vestibule, impeding the egress of staff members who were working in the office and endangering their lives,” Burlington police said in a statement obtained from AP News.
