Fire escape ladders are essential for multi-story homes. A smoke or heat detector can alert the occupants that a fire has broken-out - but its still essential to have a safe passage to escape a blazing fire, if trapped upstairs.
Portable fire escape ladders are stored within reach of the most appropriate escape window and simple to deploy in the event of an emergency. And the emergency ladders that are permanently fixed in place (underneath the escape window) are seen as a more stable option, immediately available, and cannot be taken away or lost. Ladders that are fixed in place are the more expensive option.
The ladders come packed in a storage box for ease of deployment and safety. General guidelines for a fixed fire escape ladder - In case of a fire, open the bedroom or hallway window, open the storage box and push the chain link ladder out the window. These ladders unravel automatically to increase the speed and effency of safely an escalatiing fire.
