Why has the US ended up with such strict fire safety rules? Like I'm not necessarily opposed, just surprised if anything.
Europe solved the problem by requiring buildings to be made out of fire resistant materials. Amerikkka was growing rapidly at the time and used timber to build housing because it was cheaper and quicker so they had to implement other ways to keep people from burning alive.
