Begin Your Winter Season With A Built-In Escape Ladder To Protect Family Members When Fire Strikes

Safe Passage When It Counts!

(HIT) – Good intentions often run out at the worst times. Everyone knows the importance of a fire escape route, particularly from the second or third floor of a building; but not everyone realizes that in 30 seconds, a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire (Source: US Fire Administration), leaving family members in the upper levels of multi-story homes trapped with no way out.

When seconds are all you have, the Werner Fire Escape Ladder releases from its recessed compartment under an upstairs window—providing an instant escape route for the entire family.

To provide a practical solution to this danger, Werner Ladder Company introduces the Werner Fire Escape Ladder, always ready and always there for emergencies. It is a compact permanent fire escape ladder, recessed into the interior wall beneath a second or third story window. Designed with your family’s safety in mind, this fundamental safety product might just be your family’s most important protection. The unit has the easy-to-use, child-friendly features every family needs when seconds count.

Recent statistics from the National Fire Protection Associates (NFPA) found on average, 8 people lost their lives in U.S. home fires each day. With reported fire department response times over 5 minutes in 50% of house fires calls, there is a clear need for taking steps to make sure your family is protected.

Designed for use over any size windowsill and multilevel rooflines, this new home safety product uses a first-step assistance strap to the secure exit for all members of the family.
