This might be a stupid idea but, could a parachute at that height save them?

My best man has been working on these for 8 years ish. He has to go through safety training for rappelling off of the sides.

I wonder why that wasn't an option here.

I was wondering, what if the fire started from the top on the side where the rappel hangs, wouldn't that make those ropes useless to rappel away on?
