Smoke

Carbon Monoxide

Extinguishers

Escape Ladders

Smoke Alarms

Place at least 10 feet from kitchen/stove, and on the ceiling or high on a wall, no more than 10 inches from top.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Carbon monoxide alarms can be placed anywhere, not just the ceiling or high on a wall. They should be replaced every 5 to 7 years.

Fire Extinguishers

Keep in the kitchen and garage, but make sure to have the right grade for the type of fire that might occur.

Escape Ladders

Have at least one if your home has more than one story. Each room needs 2 escape routes; in most bedrooms it's the window, so have a ladder nearby.

Be prepared for an emergency with the First Alert EL52-2 Two-Story Folding Home Fire-Escape Ladder. Exceptionally strong and durable, this ladder can be easily folded for storage near a window or under a bed for immediate access in case of a fire. House fires can be deadly, but the EL52-2 helps protect you and your family by providing a safe, reliable means of escape.

Escape from a Dangerous House Fire with This Strong, Durable Ladder
Fire is a serious threat to every household; it can strike anywhere, any time. The frightening truth is that in 2005, there were nearly 381,000 home fires in the U.S., resulting in over 16,000 casualties. Because of the very real threat of fire, it is vital that every household uses tools for fire protection. When used in conjunction with smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, and as part of an overall fire-escape plan, the EL52-2 is an effective last-resort tool to help you and your family safely exit a dangerous situation.

Tough Nylon/Steel Construction, Anti-Slip Rungs, and Secure Hooks
Exceptionally durable, this ladder is tested to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. Featuring strong nylon/steel construction and measuring 14-feet in length, the EL52-2 provides a dependable means of escape through a second-floor window during a home fire.

This ladder is easy to set up and is strong enough to help both children and adults quickly exit to safety. It arrives fully assembled and ready to use in one minute. Extra-wide hooks secure the ladder to any windowsill measuring at least 20-inches (51 centimeters) wide and 32-inches (81 centimeters) high with a sill width between a minimum of 6-inches (15 centimeters) and a maximum of 10-inches (25 centimeters).

The ladder's slip-resistant, epoxy-coated rungs provide sure footing, and steel stabilizers on each rung help keep your feet steady and balanced, preventing the rungs from swaying as you step on or off of them. For added stability, DuPont Cordura nylon strapping lends extra strength and durability, while steel construction tested to 1,125 pounds means this ladder holds up to 375 pounds at a time.

The EL52-2 comes with a six-year limited warranty.

High-Quality, Solid Construction, Must Have
5 Stars
High-Quality, Solid Construction, Must Have
This escape ladder has a nice emergency release strap which also doubles as a "tie" to hold all the rungs in place while storing so it can be quickly and easily moved and put into the window in an emergency. Haven't had to use mine yet, but it feels very solid and is of a high quality construction, but isn't too heavy. I checked it out thoroughly and simulated using it so I would know how if the time came. Just having this in my second story rooms makes me feel safer. This is the third one I have purchased so each room has one, compact box fits under the bed in one room and behind a chair by the window in the other room. If you have a 2-story place, make sure to have at least one of these upstairs in case you ever need it. TIP: If Fire, close bedroom door before opening your window so the influx of oxygen doesn't pull fire into the room.
