Those buildings have fire escapes but I haven't seen any in the picture I'm looking at. Maybe they are on the other side.

 

I know people would practice pulling down the ladders and sliding down.

 

 

@Sage04 those buildings do NOT have fire escapes.....

 

 

@gertrudecloset  I know that one didn't. @Cakers3  mentioned that to me earlier.

 

I was talking about the buildings in NY with fire escapes.

 

@Sage04 many older buildings still do have fire escapes.  Many.  I forgot what period they became obsolete.  I also recall them being in the front of buildings, but they are[were] considered ways that people could break in to an apartment.

@gertrudecloset   This is true but in this particular building it was too high to install fire escapes all the way to the top.  It was the early 1970's.

 

Buildings of a certain cap on height did have fire escapes but taller structures did not.
