Flight taken if things get too hot for comfort? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
fire escape
'too hot for comfort?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'flight taken if things' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'flight' could be 'escape' (flight can mean an escape) and 'escape' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fire' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fire escape that I've seen before include "Evacuation staircase" , "Emergency flight perhaps" , "steps outside" , "Emergency way out" , "get-out" .)
