ABSTRACT:
A fire escape ladder system for high-rise buildings having balconies with parapets. Each balcony stores its own corresponding ladders. A first ladder is securely mounted on the parapet. This ladder folds out and over the parapet when in use. A second ladder with a flanged top is pushed through a cooperating opening at the base of the parapet. The flange prevents the ladder from sliding through the opening. This second ladder descends to the top of the next lower balcony where it is secured with a bar and clamp assembly. Each user wears a safety belt that connects to T-shaped longitudinal slots integrally formed in both side pieces of the ladder. The ladder systems provide escape routes from balcony to balcony to ground.
