NR42 Request to Repeal the Single Exit Stairway Building Code
Fire Service associations across British Columbia, Canada and USA are requesting that these changes be reversed or paused, and we strongly recommend that this be deferred to the National Building Code revision process with the involvement of the National Research Council.
We urge the public to take immediate action. What can you do ?
