Absolutely nothing is as important as home safety. Emergency Preparedness for any situation is vital for happy, healthy and worry-free homeownership. That’s why we felt the need to blog about this new Werner Fire Escape Ladder. Easily tucked away into the wall below a second floor window, the ladder releases in seconds, providing a safe and quick egress from the upstairs in the case of a fire.

The two story ladder retails for a mere $99 — not that you can put a price on saving lives, but that’s pretty inexpensive peace of mind. There’s no misplacing the ladder, installment needs during a fire or purchasing a new one after each use. An easy 3-step installation process is doable by even the most novice of DIYers. Just be sure to test out the ladder after installation to make sure it has been installed properly.
