Emergency Access & Egress &guarding are critical components when an emergency situation, such as when a fire breaks out. When a fire occurs, quick response and timing are two essential components to saving lives and personal effects. Proper emergency Access to the building helps to ensure that fire trucks will be able to reach the area to extinguish the blaze, if it starts. Emergency Egress needs to be unobstructed, ensuring that all occupants within the building are able to exit safely.
