fire escape ladder
Building evacuation route
A fire escape ladder is a portable or permanently mounted ladder designed for emergency evacuation from upper floors during a fire.
Portable versions hook over windowsills and unroll; fixed versions are the metal ladders bolted to building exteriors.
We keep a fire escape ladder under the bed in case of emergency.
