Studies show that when a person experiences a fire in their home, their ability to properly handle the situation is greatly diminished due to panic. Take away the ability to see, add choking smoke and heat, and panic can cripple a person into complete inaction. During a fire, evacuating a structure is often the difference between life and death. However, if your home is two or more stories, making a quick and safe exit from an upper floor is not always easy. If you or other family members are upstairs, exiting the structure by using the stairway is not always possible, especially if the fire starts on the first floor. The stairway acts as a natural chimney, quickly sending superheated air and smoke to the upper floors. What do you do in a situation like this? Trying to find a portable fire escape ladder under the bed or in the closet and then trying to deploy it wastes precious seconds. What your need is a permanent, secondary escape system that is always where you need it when you need it!
No-Burn® Chains of Life is a patented, in-wall escape ladder system that is bolted to the framing of the structure. It fits neatly underneath the window behind a decorative door. It can be used for second- and third-story windows, as well as first floor windows there the drop is greater that six feet. In case of a fire, all you have to do is open the window, open the door on the Chains of Life system and throw the ladder out. The all-metal construction means that the system is extremely durable and can support up to 1000 lbs. No more looking for a portable ladder when you need it. Chains of Life is always there! No-Burn® recommends a minimum of two Chains of Life systems on opposite ends of the structure, per story. Chains of life can easily be added to an existing structure, while homes under construction can be framed to accommodate Chains of Life. Do not go another day without Chains of Life!
