OP has a good list of questions.

You want fire escapes so that renters on the second floor can get out of the building if the primary and secondary exits are blocked. In our kids’ apartment, there are two bedrooms. If the fire is in the dining/living room blocking the way to the primary and secondary exits, one room has two additional exits (through windows) and the other bedroom has it’s own exit via a window to a roof and stairway. It also has another window but that would require a jump (or lowering via tied sheets) for one story.
