About PermEscape
PermEscape's mission is to provide solutions that protect people from the effects of fire and its related hazards. For more than 3 years industry leaders and firefighters have relied on PermEscape. Our goal is to ensure that residents of every multi-level home, condo or apartment building have multiple escape routes when faced with an emergency as tragic as a residential fire.
Did you know that a home fire doubles in size every 30 seconds? That means in just five minutes even a small fire can grow to engulf your home in flames. If your bedrooms are located on the second floor and the hallway leading out to safety becomes blocked, inaccessible or unsafe because of fire and smoke, how would you get your family out?
The answer is PermEscape. While escape through a window may be your only choice if the hallway is blocked, jumping from a second-story window can cause serious injury. With a PermEscape emergency evacuation ladder installed in your home, you and your family will have an extra means of escape in the event of a home fire. Our units are built permanently into the wall under the window and are ready to use in less than a minute. Parents can guide and help children and elderly family members down the ladder providing a quick and safe escape.
PermEscape's permanent escape and rescue ladders were UL Classified from July 2003 to December 2006. Due to changes in policies the UL decided not to carry fire escapes in their categories starting on January 1,2007. Our ladders are all fabricated and assembled in the United States. PermEscape Inc. is committed to providing the best possible customer service to the users of our permanent escape and rescue ladders. We believe that every PermEscape ladder installed equals a life saved.
