Daniel McCree
Chicago inventor Daniel McCree invented a portable fire escape that was designed for the interior of buildings.
McCree’s fire escape could roll and had a carriage that could be raised and lowered.
It was intended to be part of a building’s own fire prevention equipment and stored on location.
D. McCree  improved on the fire-escape used in bigger buildings and created a portable wooden fire escape that could be attached to a home
McCree patented his portable fire escape on November 11, 1890 and it is the basis for models used today.
