The author analyzes the regulatory provisions enshrined in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation № 1479 of September 16, 2020 and in the codes of practice SP 4.13130, SP 8.13130 and SP 10.13130, which regulate the arrangement of fire passages, external stairs and fire-fighting water supply systems.
