fire exits
Evacuation route openings
Fire exits are doors or routes designated for emergency evacuation from a building.
They must remain unobstructed and typically open outward, marked with illuminated signs.
The term often appears in safety announcements: Please locate your nearest fire exit.
Fire exit can also describe the act of leaving dramatically or abruptly, playing on the emergency connotation.
