Between 1992 and 2001, an average of 4,266  lost their lives and another 24913 were injured annually as the result of fire. An alarming 80% of fire deaths occur in residences. Twice as many children under age 5 die in fires than the rest of the American population. Children under the age of 10 account for 22.2% of all fire deaths. Most children learn about fire and fire safety at school, but have never discussed it at home. Because children are familiar with general fire safety does not mean they know how to react if a fire strikes at home.

Our Product

Pro-Tec is a fire escape device that is installed in windows to allow victims of domestic fires to escape to safety when the main exits of the house are blocked. This system should not be considered as the main fire exit during a residential fire. It is the second option for those who cannot access other exits.

Pro-Tec alerts the child when the smoke alarm is activated. A visibility light allows the system to be located in a smoke filled room. When the smoke alarm is activated, an audio guide directs the child toward the window escape system. When the child finds their way to the escape window, they place their foot into the bottom foot hold, activating the window release mechanism. By pressing the release pedal down, the locking device cable unlocks the window. When the window is unlocked the activator spring push pins the window open two inches. This allows the child to open the window. The child uses the inside foot holds and hand grips as a ladder to evacuate the room. Once outside the window, the child uses the outside foot holds and hand grips to safely climb down.

Pro-Tec shows promise. According to our industry analysis, the risk of fire is still a very big threat to families. The addition of the Pro-Tec escape system, if used properly, would aid in the escape from burning homes.
