As a firefighter, I strongly reccomend escape ladders to people who live on or above the second floor. If a fire starts at night on the first floor smoke detectors on the second or third floors may or may not activate and wake up building occupants before superheated gasses and fire make escape through the first floor an impossability. Buy whatever brand you want but make sure it's appropriate for your specific needs. Ensure if you live on the third or fourth floor you buy a ladder that long or longer. Take into consideration overhangs under windows that will effect the length of the ladder. Make sure escape ladder fits the window. Use only if all other exits are blocked. Practice opening the ladder and dropping it out the window, but not using it.

As a former firefighter, I can attest that there is no such thing as too much protection. The Kidde KL-2S 13 foot escape ladder or a good quality counterpart is a must have safety tool for any two story home. This product and others like it save lives.
Unlike previous heavy chain constructed models, this system is light, tangle free and easy to store. Weighing in at almost 17lbs this unit will hold up to 1000lbs. I highly recommend storing this ONE TIME USE LADDER in the vicinity of the designated escape window. As a ONE TIME USE LADDER do not pull the release strap unless it is an emergency. In the event of an emergency these simple steps will save lives.
1. Close the doors to the room before opening the escape
window to avoid intensifying a fire.
2. Open attachment hooks and extend center support.
3. Place hooks over window sill with ladder hanging on the
outside of the structure. Attach the white end of the hooks to
the inside wall. The red side of the hooks must be outside
the window.
4. Pull release strap to deploy ladder.(To be done only in
an actual emergency).
5. Carefully exit window onto ladder, holding attachment hooks
to provide stability.
6. When descending the ladder, keep your body close to the
ladder to maximize stability.
7. Carry children on the ladder only when it is absolutely necessary.
8. Avoid carrying pets or other objects on the ladder.
9. In family escape, the parent should exit first to stabilize the
ladder during the descent of children or elderly adults.

This is wonderful, we have one in each kids room we have practice drills and this is great we live in an apartment that has no back door so this is essential since all the bedrooms are in the back and we live on the 2nd floor.
Finally a ladder that will help us escape January 16, 2007

Though we have not tested the ladder, as it has only one time use. It has been designed well with solid metal steps and a very small pakcing and storage size. Overall recommended to any that need an alternate escape route out of a house or townhome.
