Fire Escape Ladders

We are looking for a fire escape ladder for our 4th floor flat that has a window underneath the opening window. I would like a recommendation of a ladder that would work for us.

I am a tenant. We only have a blanket not an extinguisher in the flat / house which worries me, are there any regulations. Also I was told I should not have a fire ladder because the exit is via the main entrance. Obviously, fire ladders are only used in an emergency. Why should such a ladder be forbidden. Can I convince the agent or show them any written regulations? thank you

Hi, I'm moving into a town house which has only top opening windows. I want to get a fire escape ladder for each of the rooms but I'm not sure if the ladders will be supported enough by the window? Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

The route from the escape ladder from a mezzanine floor is partially blocked with pallets of stored stock with just enough room for a small person to pass through, I am 8st7 and 5ft1, is there a minimum clearance required for escape routes?

For a 12ft drop, should I buy the 10ft or 15ft X-IT ladder?

Greetings from over the pond. We live in CA and have a dormer-type window which opens up to a slanted/pitched roof. The roof ends in a hanging gutter. We would need a ladder that is light enough for a child to use (anything over 20 lbs is probably out of the question) and can be rolled out over the roof like your Roll-O and EasyEscape products. The others would likely just drop onto the roof in a tangled pile which the youngster would then have to crawl out onto the roof and untangle and drag over to the gutter and kick over the side (highly dangerous and unlikely scenario). So I am stuck with few options here. I am thinking your roll-o and easyescape products would…

Hi I would like to use a fire escape ladder from a second floor bedroom window. There is a window on the floor just underneath. Will this not break when I climb down? Has anybody used a ladder in the same situation? Thanks Garry

Hi i am a university student and live in a three storey house with three others. Should each of our bedrooms have an escape ladder fitted? I am not sure how we would all get out as we can all lock our rooms. Cheers

I am just carrying out a loft extension. I have a gable end window and a Velux. Building Inspection talked about fire escape windows but surely a window on its own does not constitute a fire escape. The Velux side of the extension goes into a yard where the fire brigade cannot possibly get to us. Has anybody had experience with installing fire escape ladders?
