Any passageway connecting individual rooms and spaces to an exit door, stairwell, or other area of refuge. Emergency exit corridors and smoke-protected stairwells are resistant to fire and smoke for approximately 2 hours. These are the safest areas during an emergency evacuation. Rescue personnel are instructed to check all exit corridors and stairwells first for any stranded persons. (Also see Areas of refuge.) |
