Fire Escape: Difference between revisions

A '''fire escape''' or '''fire exit''' is a set of stairs that can be used to escape a building in case of fire. In the [[GTA IV Era|Grand Theft Auto IV era]], fire escapes are used in certain missions to get down to [[List of Street Names|street]] level from a building. They can be used outside of missions to get to the roof of a building or get down from the roof. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], fire escapes or fire exits are seen but not used.

== Appearance ==  

In [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], the fire escapes are always made of metal, except for one case in [[A Long Way to Fall|a mission]] where the escape is made of wood. Most fire escapes are missing the bottom set of stairs so the [[Protagonist|player]] has to jump off of the side of the fire escape to get completely down to street level. Sometimes the player can get to a fire escape by going off a [[Stunt Jumps in GTA IV|ramp]] and landing on the fire escape stairs painfully.
