Fire Safety

"THIS DOOR TO REMAIN UNLOCKED WHEN THE BUILDING IS OCCUPIED"


It just makes sense, right?  Always give people an escape.  Never lock the door.

A fire started in Ycua Bolanos supermarket in August of 2004 in Asuncion, Paraguay and security locked all the doors.  400 died.  The owners wanted to keep people from stealing stuff but they didn't even have an operational sprinkler system.  I was a few blocks away and I really appreciate some of these safety regulations now.
