When you have a two-story or multi-level home, a home fire escape ladder is an essential part of your home safety kit. Each bedroom on the above-ground floors of your home should be equipped with one of these escape ladders. The ladders fold compactly for easy storage. They take up a minimal amount of space, and they are made to be stored for as long as you own your home.
If your smoke alarms sounded, and your home was on fire, you might only have a minute or two to get out. You might not have time to try to navigate the stairs. In order to use the fire escape ladder, all you need to do is open the window and unfold the ladder. The ladder attaches to the window’s bottom frame or sill. No tools are required to secure the ladder into place. The ladders are set up to accommodate up to 300 pounds, which is enough to hold most adults. It can even hold a few kids at the same time for faster egress from a burning house.
These fire escape ladders resist fire. Even if fire spreads into the room where the ladder is located in the window, the ladder itself will not catch fire as you or your family members are using it. The steps on the ladder are spaced in a way that makes it easy for young kids to use. The hand rails provide a secure grip for safely climbing down the ladder and out of the burning home.
