No one wants to think about the possibility of a house fire but it’s important to be prepared.

A house fire isn’t something anyone wants to think about but it’s important for you and your family to have a fire escape plan.

One very affordable and easy-to-use item that’s often overlooked are fire escape ladders.

This compact yet fully functional ladder will protect you and your family by providing a safe and reliable means of escape from the upper levels of your home.

You’ll first need to measure the width and depth of your windowsills and then purchase a separate fire ladder for each upstairs bedroom.

Once you’ve made the purchase, make sure every family member knows where they’re stored and how to use them. Hopefully, it’s something you’ll never need but it’s always good to be prepared.
