Ladder not quite tall enough
a friend of mine used to be the CEO for Amex, the first thing they did when he got the job was to move his office to the eighth floor, he asked why and was told that's the highest the NYCFD ladders could reach

I saw what looked like a jump pad on the ground and the bit of footage I saw had the helicopter crew talking about reports of a guy jumping.
I think he had to jump down.
Edit: maybe the huge inflated bag on the ground was just a precaution?

Building is so old that they were grandfathered into not having to provide them.

At the time, L.A. fire officials said the Barrington Plaza building was not equipped with a sprinkler system. Because it was built nearly 60 years ago, it does not fall under state regulations later adopted that forced buildings taller than 75 feet to include such fire-suppression systems unless granted an exemption.
