Insurance for your family

The good people at Listers Trade Frames are trying to get fireescapeladder trending on Twitter - I must say it is nice to have someone else banging the drum for this life saving product.

A good point was made by Mark that we all pay insurance for our homes, cars, life, pets, etc.  but we all hope that we do not have to claim.

The Fire Escape Ladder is really no different - it is an insurance policy that in the unfortunate event of a fire in the home we can actually escape safely and quickly.

The statistics show that the majority of fires start at night on the ground floor of a property.  This means that if a fire takes hold there is a chance that the primary escape route is blocked by the flames.  If this is the case what are your options -

Wait for the fire service to rescue
Lower yourself from a window and drop

Get out safely with a fire escape ladder

I know what I would choose and this picture of my daughter trying out our fire escape ladder proves it.

I can sleep easily at night knowing that I have hard wired smoke alarms to warn my family of a potential fire BUT ADDITIONALLY we can all get out of the property safely.
