ABSTRACT:
A combination fire escape tube and rescue vehicle is provided. The fire escape comprises an upper, supporting entry ring member and a mesh tube attached to this upper support member, the mesh tube being substantially longer than the building height from which escape is necessary, and a lower, exit-opening support ring member attached to the lower end of the mesh tube. The rescue vehicle has boom-like, height-adjustable apparatus, to the upper end of which is affixed a universal joint to which the supporting entry ring member is attached, thereby providing for flush alignment of the entry ring member against the wall of the building at a window or other opening at a desired height, regardless of the angle of approach of the boom to the building. The lower exit-opening support ring member can be adjustably attached to the mesh tube near the ground by ground support personnel. In the event of a fire in a building, the rescue vehicle equipped with the fire escape tube according to the invention can be used entirely externally of said building to permit persons to escape, and is limited only by the height to which the boom can reach.
