Wood stairway fire hazard?

Brian Horwitz

Hi, I am currently changing a SFH into a duplex with the bottom level one unit and top level one unit. My contractor built a wood stairway entrance to the top unit and I'm concerned my tenant will be trapped if there is a fire. can I put metal stairs near a window as an emergency fire escape?
