#OneExitIsNotEnough

🔥 Three people died and over a dozen were injured after a fire broke out in a Manhattan apartment building.

The fire spread into the only stairwell, blocking the main exit and complicating rescue efforts by FFs, highlighting the risks of these designs.

🔥🚒 Single-stair buildings slow emergency response, delay evacuation, and increase risks for residents and #firefighters.

The IAFF has been raising concerns about these designs and the dangers they pose.

Incidents like this underscore why.
