Lots of good information there for protecting yourself, orienting people of what to expect and hints on architectural design.

But you left out, or I didn't see, two of the biggies:

1) If there is a fire the vast majority of the people will seek to get out the way they got in. After action reports show that it is very common for people to move away from nearby exits, even though they were clearly marked and preferentially move toward the entrance they used to enter the building.

In the case of 'The Station' nightclub a good number of people were within a few steps of side exits but they turned around and moved toward the main entrance which was several times as far away.

Hint: in any gathering place it pays to make a tour of the available exits. It usually only takes a couple of minutes. That way when your stressed you are not focused on the one way you came in.

In malls the vast majority of stores of any size have an exit in the back that leads to daylight or a service corridor. Most people forget this. In a fire or other emergency 'the path less traveled' can be a good thing to know about.

2) If your building, buying or operating a building look into adding fire sprinklers. In terms of protecting life and property from fire there is simply no better way to start. Often for less than the cost of carpeting you can get a real leg up on fire protection.

There is little doubt that if the nightclub had had sprinklers the loss of life would have been much lower. Sprinklers buy time for people to get out and firemen to get in.

I think it was in the MGM fire that a small number of sprinkler heads a resident demanded to be installed stopped the fire after hours of firemen trying to get it under control at considerable risk to themselves.
