Why wouldn't you be able to compare statistics from the US to any other country that doesn't have that rule?
- petee 5y agoThere are alot of factors: building codes, materials, age, likely ignition sources . Probably not impossible, but difficult to find a meaningful way to compare. I'm also guessing that fire reporting doesn't include the level of detail you would need. For example, a fire in which firefighters were able to tackle from two sides would be quickly extinguished, where as the same fire with 1-sided access might have become a disaster. But thats a what-if, only learned the hard way.
- josephcsible 5y agoBecause countries that don't have that rule also don't have a bunch of other important fire safety rules.
- BlackFingolfin 5y agoCitation needed? What other important fire safety rules are "missing" in e.g. (from TFA) South Korea, China, Sweden, Italy, or Germany?
