im quite ok with having two staircases so people don't burn to death and have more ways to get out. new buildings don't have outside fire escapes from what i've seen. the worst thing is apartments that have a flat roof. they act like water isn't an issue at all.

The video addresses this seven minutes in... despite requiring two staircases, the US is not exceptionally safe when it comes to deaths from fire. Austria, Italy, and the Netherlands all outperform.

i think the only bad thing about this chart is that it probably covers all fire deaths and not just apartments.
