Probably nothing, its all to do with politiking and money. Its just as hard flinging yourself out of a top flat tenement when it's on fire. The new doors are fire doors too, much better than most doors.
Slighty off topic but I moved into a top tenement flat for a while after living on ground level for yoinks and was concerned about fire safety. This despite or because I was born in a top flat and had to be rescued by a fireman as a child ( carrying my budgie - in cage) Got to wondering ..
Why no outside fire escapes?
Why no water sprinklers?
What are the issues (past proposals) in tenements and fire safety?
Should I have started another thread?
