"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!

Good to meet you dafydd...

Though actually, I was responding to the original post title of "We want information". Therefore, the proper reply to my question is "The new number two", whereupon I holler "WHO IS NUMBER 1?!" and so on... :D

Oops. I was so frazzled I totally forgot I'd done that in the original post.....


Back to the Village for me, clearly.

Be seeing you.

Actually, I'd be highly surprised if y'all didn't wander in to each other in the Bay Area. dafydd used to work as a contractor at SGI, does Burning Man, is poly, and the firefighter thing.

Heh. Well, I never worked for SGI, never went to Burning Man, and didn't do the FF or poly thangs until I came to NZ. So, prolly not. While we quite clearly move in similar circles, hasn't happened in the same time/meatspace. Yet. :)

Most of my time in the SFBA was spent commuting from Antioch to San Carlos. What little social life I had pretty much existed only around home in the far East Bay, and that was pretty much just neighbors and such. I had little free time, and when I did, the last thing I was interested in was a 45 min drive to the city. Free time was spent at home with the fam.
