"We want ... information¹."

[unixronin]

Information from all our friends in fire service, primarily.

I refer you to this page listing portable fire escape ladders.  We want to get an escape ladder for Pirate's room, since she's on the third floor and there's only one way down from her room to the second floor; in the event of a fire at that end of the living room, she could be trapped upstairs.

If anyone has first-hand knowledge of both the Kidde and the First Alert ladder, and knows of any reason other than price for choosing one over the other, we'd like to hear from you.

Thanks!

Don't know about ladders, even though I have used a few. (I worked as a Paramedic.) I do recommend practicing with fire extinguishers with the kids. Buy a few extras and practice putting out grease and gasoline fires on the back patio or some such. Having a four-year-old used to a fire extinguisher saved our house once.
