Yes, there were fire exits, but they were obstructed or locked. There were at least 11 fire extinguishers. The building was "First Class" construction. There were four exits from the main dining room. There were two exits from the Melody Lounge in the basement, one of which went upstairs to a door with "panic hardware". It was, unfortunately, locked with a second lock. Twenty-five engine companies, five ladders, a water tower and a rescue company responded to the five-alarm fire. There were several nearby fire hydrants and at least two alarm call boxes in nearby streets.
