Gardening on the Fire Escape

Our condo association suddenly decided that we can have a flower box on the fire escape.  I am personally skeptical about this lapse in fire safety.  The association also stated that anyone caught on the fire escape in a non-emergency situation will be fined $500.   So does mounting the flower box and watering the plants constitute an emergency?  But I have always wanted a flower box, so here I go.  Grow, herbs, grow!
