Emergency Fire Escape Ladder

[kamalabob2]

Have any of the Forum members seen on sale a "Portable Fire Escape Ladder" similar to the ladders typically sold along side smoke alarms and fire extinguishers at Home Improvement Stores in America:

If you have seen them in a retail store or a "fire safety supplier store" (one is near President Park Serviced Apartments in Bangkok, but I do not recall seeing the portable ladders in that shop) please post the name and/or location.

Or perhaps some of the Forum members who live in a two story home have had a local shop build a PORTABLE ESCAPE LADDER ladder in the event of a fire escape situation. What were your experiences and what sort of materials did you ask the local shop to use in fabrication?

Thanks for your input.
