An exciting Barnsley based Company
with a unique patented world beating life saving product.It’s simply a metal box bolted to the outside of the building.
Inside is a safety harness and specially made rope ladder with wide metal rungs. To deploy
the system simply flick the catch, the front of the box drops to the ground pulling the
ladder out with it, you then put the harness on and climb out of the window down to the
ground. In tests a family of 4 were able to evacuate the building under 95 seconds.
Dennis Baker the inventor was spurred on to
design the system because of the death of a friend in a serious house fire.
The mother jumped from the bedroom window and
was badly hurt and still uses crutches 5 years later, but her 16 year old daughter would
not jump and got back under the covers.
The Fire Brigade found her minutes later dead under the bed
covers. The neighbours said at the time "if only we had a ladder she would be alive
now!"
This set Dennis thinking and now after five years of
development the SAFE 1 Fire escape system is finally on the market.
They are currently looking for interested parties
either to take on a franchise or to distribute the system. If you are
