very likely, for escape in a fire. thats what egreess ingress windows
are for. good news once you add the extra access space can be called a
bedroom.

this rule has spread across the US after so many died in basement
fires, Its a excellent rule


How do I get out of my bedroom? All I have are windows 30 feet off the
ground. This safety culture is making me ill.
