Can someone tell me the code for a 2 story wood frame R-4 dwelling that has a exterior wooden fire escape (this is for a bedroom) the following:

1. Can they use glass for a ballister?
2. What is the egress window size?

On two I thought it would be a minimum of 5.7 feet... with the standard dimensions of 20" x 24" .....

Code links please too
