Who invented the fire escape?
One of the first fire escapes of any type was invented in 18th-century England. In 1784, Daniel Maseres, of England, invented a machine called a fire escape, which, being fastened to the window, would enable anyone to descend to the street without injury. Anna Connelly patented the first fire escape in 1887, which was designed with an exterior staircase.
What would happen if the fire escape never existed?
Well, for a long time it didn't exist and people died. Yet, for many centuries most buildings weren't over 2-3 stories so people didn't need a ladder or fire escape. In the 1800's when steel was invented so was the multistory building and skyscrapers. In 1878 Joseph Winters used a wagon to hoist a ladder up a building . This led to ladders on fire engines. As buildings got higher and higher metal ladders were put on the outside of windows for people to escape.
