This was implemented in the aftermath of Boston's Cocoanut Grove fire, where 492 people died in 15 minutes of smoke inhalation, and Chicago's Iroquois Theatre fire, where 602 people died in 20 minutes of smoke inhalation and/or burns. Residential doors are inswing in part so you can install a storm door on one.
