One of the first fire escapes of any type was invented in 18th-century England. It was a machine called a fire escape, which, being fastened to the window, would enable a person to descend to the street without injury. In the United States and Europe in the 1950s and 1960s, it became clear in the poorer areas of cities that fire escapes were commonly used for everything, but their intended purpose. Some residents placed items on the fire escape (chairs, bicycles or plants), which added weight and impeded emergency escape.
