Does anyone work for Fire and Rescue ?
I need some advice if possible, need to know some facts before I make a phone call.
Daughter lives in a flat above a shop so living accomodation is all on 1st and 2nd floors. There is a balcony type thing out of the kitchen. There is a wooden fire escape but there is no means of access to it, unless you climb over a 5feet high fence.
Would you say this was a safe arrangement ? Have to say it gives me sleepless nights worrying about how she would get a toddler and baby out.

And a hydraulic platform wouldn't be needed for a second floor rescue, all fire engines carry a 9 meter ladder and triple extension ladder which would reach you so fear not!! Building regs do appear to have been written by idiots though.

It isnt legal having the exit blocked up. On a house, most people dont give a s*** but i guess on a flat, where others can start fires, there is some concern.

Thankyou but surely if there is a fire escape it shouldn't be wooden should it ?

Now that is just naughty , funny but naughty :D

yes, it does as shergy could get a black eye from the boyfriend if she has one. X)
And I'm honestly not sure whether a wooden fire escape would be legal. I suppose you wouldn't use a fire escape that was actually on fire but wood wouldn't remain as structurally sound as metal when subjected to heat. What town does she live in? Or city?

She doesn't have one now , he decided last night he didn't want to be a grown up anymore

Something like this:

Pretty much a large velux window at a lower level.
Guess so that the fire services could crane you to safety if you are traped on the 2nd floor.
