On a regular basis we read and see on television people that are trapped by fire in high rise buildings. The fire rescue equipment available today is only capable (if available) of reaching 20 to 25 metres, 7 or 8 storeys
The only other method of escape is by helicopter from the roof, this in itself poses problems, in that when the helicopter approaches the building, the down draft from the rotors fan the fire, accelerating it.
The majority of deaths in fire situations is by smoke asphyxiation, and in high rise buildings, the victims are nearly all found to be in the stairwell.

SO WHAT IS THE ANSWER?

"The Ingström Escape Chute"® can be installed into buildings to operate from a height of 3/4 metres to 150 metres (50 storeys).
Set out below, we give you some typical examples of where the escape chute can be deployed. To date there are over 3000 installations of "The Ingström Escape Chute"® world wide.
