@abc7chicago: Firefighters in Tucson, Arizona, had to winch a patient down 15 floors as all elevators were out of service in a public housing building downtown on the morning of Monday, April 7. Footage released by the Tucson Fire Department shows the complex operation, using a rope system to lower the patient. The incident took place at Tucson House, a public housing building where residents have been complaining of deteriorating living conditions.
allowing a building that tall to fall into that state of disrepair while still collecting rent from the residents should be a felony crime.

Stair chair would be much faster than setting up multiple rope systems but I guess it’s good practice?

Really wish they showed an angle on the actual setup and procedure. Wonder how long that took. Was it a medical emergency or an evacuation? So many questions
