As mentioned in a previous response, I am in an office on the second floor. Two additional items I have are a hammer and a good long piece (75') of climbing rope. Lots of kidding on this one.
My thought is a fire in or around the only stairway from the second floor would mean an exit from fixed, closed windows. The hammer to remove the glass, after donning the mil grade goggles for eye protection and leather gloves, and most everyone would be able to leave the building via the rope from the second floor.
Shortcoming is that many people know what is there and why, but I am probably the only that can properly apply them. I think we need a training lesson, no matter how many laughs I might get. Probably a good idea to mention this to building management as well.
Thanks for the prompt.
