Please refer to National Fire Protection Agency. It tells all about fire safety.
OSHA will also help you on this matter.

As an individual, your first step is to learn the several ways by which you can leave the building.
If you are concerned about fire life safety in a high rise building in the US, don't be. I once did a statistical study of fire life safety in California residential buildings. This was in the days when few high rise buildings had fire sprinkler systems. The results of the study (and confirmed by an insurance actuary) indicated that a person is one and a half times safer in a high rise residential occupancy than in a single family home.
By the way, I went into the study with the feeling that the opposite would be true.
