History, retrofit and fixes of old buildings are all over the map. And the code evolves with every catastrophe. Who knows why a fire escape is paire with a interior enclosed stair.
I'm working on a renovation of an old building in Duluth, MN. It has a fire escape that goes to the top floor with a ladder from the top landing to the roof. It also has a stand pipe from the ground to roof with hose connections at each floor. It would seem that the escape was also meant to be used by fire fighters who could hook up a pump truck to the stand pipe to pump water to interior hoses in cabinets.
