escape ladder
Fire exit equipment
An escape ladder is a portable or permanently installed ladder designed for emergency evacuation, typically from upper floors of a building during fires.
Most are rope or chain ladders that hook over windowsills and unroll downward: Every bedroom should have an escape ladder.
Fire escapes on building exteriors serve the same function but are usually fixed metal staircases rather than ladders.
