    In fire prevention standards such as NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), a means of egress is a continuous, unobstructed path of travel from any point in a building to a public way. It consists of three distinct elements:
    – Exit Access: The initial portion of the path that leads from an occupied area to an exit. This includes rooms, hallways, and corridors.
    – The Exit: The protected part of the system separated from other interior spaces by fire-rated construction to provide a safe travel path. Examples include fire-rated stairwells and exterior exit doors.
    – Exit Discharge: The final portion between the termination of the exit and a public way, such as an outdoor sidewalk or alley.
