Dong Nam Fire Protection introduces to you the necessary tools to escape an apartment fire. We cannot forget fire alarm systems, specifically automatic fire alarm systems and addressable fire alarm systems. When you encounter a fire in a high-rise apartment building, you will be less panicked when the following equipment is available in the house.

1. Escape rope

Necessary tools to escape in case of apartment fire

Depending on the height of your house, you can choose escape ropes with different lengths up to over 50m (equivalent to a 12-story house). In case of an emergency, hook the top of the ladder to the window sill or balcony with a sturdy base. Every part of the device is fireproof, so you can rest assured and calmly escape. The allowable load weight is about 150 kg. You also need to practice first to master it, especially for people with fear of heights. The price of the wire is from 5 million VND or more. Currently, there are a number of manufacturers using rope escape devices that are neatly integrated into backpacks. Thanks to that, you will limit the handling steps in case of problems and do not need to practice much.

2. Gas mask

With a not too expensive price (from a few hundred thousand dong), you can buy a few gas masks at home. When there is smoke around you, put on a mask, it will help you breathe for at least 30 minutes. The mask has an air filter layer that helps you fight toxic gases, the heat of fire... protects your eyes and helps you have air to breathe.

These types of masks are made of fireproof material with a transparent front part to help you see and often have a prominent color so firefighters can recognize you when they see you.

3. Fire escape ladder

When the hallway is filled with smoke, you can't find your way to the emergency stairs. You can open the window or go out to the balcony (cut the protective net if there is one) and use a rope ladder. The ladder has a length of about 6 floors and can withstand a weight of over 400 kg. However, please note that the window sill must be thick and sturdy to be able to attach the ladder. In addition, descending the ladder needs to be quick but cautious. Climbing a ladder is not as difficult as using a rope but still requires preparation.
