Bars on windows have been around for years as a security measure. They're in place to deter any home invasions. They were commonplace in crime-ridden areas before the advent of security systems.

Is it a fire hazard to put bars on a window with only one exit?

Yes, this is because if there is a fire blocking the one exit then you are trapped in the house or building until the FD can arrive and hopefully get everyone out safely. There are bars for windows that have a knock out on them that in the event of a emergency, from the inside you can open the bars and get out. I would recommend installing those if you are going to install bars on your windows.
