How to use the escape rope

When we encounter a fire, we need to cover our mouth and nose with a wet towel to avoid inhaling carbon dioxide, and we must know how to save ourselves. Generally, we cannot use the elevator in case of fire. When there is a fire on the floor below and we cannot rush out of the stairs, we can use the escape rope to save ourselves. However, when using the escape rope, we need to choose a fixed point and tie it up.

1. Select a fixed point. Fix one end of the escape rope or escape ladder to a solid object, such as a sturdy window, table leg, or heating pipe, and then pull it down to see if it can bear its own weight.

2. Wrap the safety belt around your hips, waist or armpits and tighten the safety buckle. And threw the life rope out of the window to the downstairs.

3. Put on protective gloves, hold the life rope with both hands, hook the left foot on the windowsill, push the outer wall with the right foot, and move the left foot out of the window after the person is stable.

4. Bend your legs slightly, push your feet against the wall, straighten your arms, relax your hands slightly, look down, and slide down along the life rope.

5. When you get close to the ground, bend your right arm forward, tighten the rope, bend your legs slightly, and land on your toes first.

6. After the first person lands safely, the person upstairs pulls the other end of the safety rope from downstairs to upstairs and re-fixes it at the fixed point. The original end at the fixed point is removed and thrown downstairs so that the second person can continue to use it to escape.

For the elderly and children who cannot control the safety rope by themselves, they must be supervised by an adult before using it. The guardian will make the elderly or children put on the safety belt, and the other end of the escape rope will be pulled up by the guardian. The guardian will gently release the life rope so that the rescued person can slowly descend to the ground.
