RUSTY FIRE ESCAPES. A reader has observed that some steel fire escapes installed on the building walls have become rusty from non-use. “Tingali ang uban niini dili na mabuklad tungod kay nagpilit na sa taya,” the reader said. “O ba kaha nangadugmok na.”

PERIODIC CHECK. The same reader, who preferred to be called concerned citizen said the Fire Department should require the building owners to check the condition of the fire escape or stairway from time to time.
