Overall Rating
Product Reviews
This is the second First Alert fire escape ladder I have purchased over the years. It is indispensable for anyone living in a two story house with only one stairway. I've always rested better knowing it was at hand if needed and now I'll rest better knowing my grandson has this same vital protection.
I recently had a fire in my home in the kitchen, filled the house with smoke. I wasn't home at the time, but I wouldn't have been ably to get off the second floor. I order the ladder it will be perfect!!
Great!
Purchased because it is not a one use only ladder.
This escape ladder has an 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.
Good product.
Excellent, affordable, sturdy escape ladder. I'll buy more in the future.
We tested this out and are very happy with the quality. We now feel confident that should the need arise we will able to safely exit using this ladder.
Very satisfactory customer , friendly service. Excellent safety product especially for children.
Haven't had to use it, but seems well built, good specs and worth the $35 purchase even for peace of mind.
This ladder is a must have for anyone that has a 2 story home. Very good quality and worth every penny. Highly recommend
Looks good so far in the box. It stores nicely under my daughter's bed. In the Spring, I will try it out on the kids as a test and write more about it then when it warms up.

Product FAQs
The window should be at least 20 inches wide and 32 inches high to give you enough clearance to exit safely. The windowsill width should be between a minimum of 6 inches and a maximum of 10 inches. Also make sure you measure the windowsill from outside to inside. Do not use the ladder on windowsills that are too large or too small for the hooks, damaged or weak, or blocked by furniture or security devices (grilles or bars). From the outside of your home, check below the window for any obstructions - trees, plants, bushes, windows, house fixtures, or any other objects in the direct path below the chosen window.
This 14-foot ladder can hold up to 375 pounds at a time. It is constructed with steel anti-slip rungs and strong nylon strapping for strength and stability. The fire safety ladder can be used on standard windowsills, stored under a bed or in a closet for easy access, and comes fully assembled.
The First Alert Escape Ladder does not require mounting of any kind. Steel rung stabilizers help to keep the ladder stable while in use.
Store the ladder where it can be immediately accessed - near the window, under a bed, or in the front part of a closet. Make sure nothing blocks you from reaching the ladder. In a fire, you have limited time to react and take action. Secure the ladder in its original box to keep it from becoming tangled.
