These are usually meant for shorter buildings, and I imagine the staircases are all concrete and can’t catch fire.

That being said, if you’re in a multi level building and it’s only a handful of levels, you should have a window escape ladder as the fire could be just outside your apartment, or in your apartment blocking the door

Maybe they should even be included, a 4 story, 4 units a level building would only be 16 ladders to provide.

I was more thinking of the stair exit being blocked by fire, not on fire itself.

Ah yes, in that case that’s why they should be supplying window ladders you can keep under the bed or nearby
