								To comply with
			 minimum standards of habitability:

									In housing units for use by less than ten occupants of
			 one-story construction, two means of escape remotely separated from each other
			 shall be provided. One of the two required means of escape may be a readily
			 accessible and unobstructed window so constructed that it can be opened to a
			 space of not less than twenty-four inches by twenty-four inches. If the second
			 means of escape is screened, the screen shall open readily. In housing units in
			 existence in the camp on April 2, 1985, a small door or panel that may be
			 readily pushed or kicked open outward may be substituted for an openable window
			 if it is readily accessible and unobstructed and so constructed that it can be
			 opened to a space of not less than twenty-four inches by twenty-four inches.
			 This small door or panel shall be clearly marked "Fire Exit" in both English
			 and the native language of the camp occupants or easily understood pictures or
			 symbols.
(2)
									All sleeping quarters intended for use by ten or more
			 occupants, central dining facilities, and common assembly rooms shall have at
			 least two doors remotely separated so as to provide alternate means of escape
			 to the outside or to an interior hall that leads directly to an approved
			 exit.
(3)
									Sleeping quarters and common assembly rooms on the
			 second story shall have an interior stairway and a permanent, affixed exterior
			 ladder or a second interior or exterior stairway. These two means of egress
			 shall be remotely separated from each other.
(4)
									Sleeping and
			 common assembly rooms located above the second story shall not be used if they
			 are disapproved by a state or local fire or building department having
			 jurisdiction.
(5)
									Each housing unit shall be equipped with at least one
			 ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted smoke alarm that shall be maintained in working
			 condition at the time of occupancy. The smoke alarm shall be repaired or
			 replaced as needed.

									A dry chemical, multi-purpose 4A 60 BC or equivalent
			 pressure type fire extinguisher in good working order shall be provided and
			 located not more than seventy-five feet from each dwelling. The operator may
			 provide individual dry chemical, multi-purpose 2A 10 BC or equivalent pressure
			 type fire extinguishers in good working order in each housing unit to comply
			 with this rule. All fire extinguishers shall be equipped with written
			 instructions or pictures for appropriate operation.

			 labor camp license and the current migrant agricultural ombudsman poster in a
