Fire Escape Ladders

Fires are the third-leading cause of fatalities every year, and up to 80 percent of all fatal fires occur in homes. Is your Richmond, Virginia, family protected? While smoke detectors may alert you to a fire, a fire escape ladder might be your only way to exit the second and third floors of your home. They’re also useful during natural disasters and home invasions. Learn more about this life-saving device today.

What is a Fire Escape Ladder?

Similar to a standard ladder, a fire escape ladder features side posts and rungs. However, they’re flexible rather than rigid. So, you can fold a fire escape ladder and easily store it under a bed, in a closet or in a bin attached to the wall when it’s not in use.

What Type of Fire Escape Ladder do you Need?

When choosing a fire escape ladder for your home, evaluate several features.>Ease of use: You don’t want a ladder that’s difficult to open during an emergency. Additionally, the ladder you select should be tangle-free.
Rung type: Flat, chain, fabric or round rungs affect traction and evacuation speed. Take your children’s ages and the agility of each family member into account when you choose a safety ladder.
Weight limits: Your toddlers may not weigh much, but your children grow quickly. Consider purchasing a safety ladder that adequately supports the weight of all your family members now and into the future.

How do you Use a Fire Escape Ladder?

When you need to escape from a second or third story room, simply open the window and secure the fire escape ladder to the ledge. Let the rungs fall down against the side of the house. Now, you can begin evacuating your family to safety.

For maximum safety, always test your fire escape ladder before you need it. Be sure all the adults and teens in your home are able to install it properly and practice using it at least twice a year. Your entire family’s safety could depend on how well every family member knows how to use this life-saving device.
