Then don't use it? What if we put a big sticker on it with your comment so everyone is aware of the risk?

- sandworm101 3y agoFire codes are not just about users. Think of responders. One cannot opt out of fires codes meant to protect the firefighters who may well have to rescue people from stairwells. For instance: no clutter like office desks to trip them up. Or, no combustibles in an open, vertical, space that fire could use to spread.
- olalonde 3y agoFirefighters are responsible for protecting themselves. If a situation is too dangerous, they can prioritize their safety first.
- danielheath 3y agoThey are literally responsible for putting themselves at some risk to save others. Discovering a situation is unsafe for firefighters once they are already in it is the norm, not the exception, when fire code violations are present.
- sandworm101 3y agoMaybe if they know, but nobody keeps a record of which codes are being followed and which are not in each paticular room. Firefighters rely on building codes. They dont have time to read through user-generated exceptions documents before responding to a fire. Even if they did, such practices are akin to sovcits opting out of obeying laws they dislike. Safety codes are meaningless if not apllied to all.
- willcipriano 3y agoThe firefighters can also read the big sticker. We will make it fireproof. We will include the fact that fire fighters will be slower to respond because they too will read the sticker, on the sticker. Or better yet one of those "child inside" stickers but "no firefighters" so they know the building had opted out.
- sandworm101 3y agoOk. They can just ignore the people inside screaming for help. They opted out of fire codes by going into the building. They chose to burn. Utterly ridiculous.
