Israeli Rescue Technology Innovation Saves Lives

Meet Escape Rescue Systems Inc. Their Escape Rescue System is a building-wide solution for safe, external evacuation of building tenants and quick transporting of rescue personnel to elevated floors when the stairwells and elevators are inaccessible.

The Escape Rescue System is an array of five collapsible cabins, permanently stored on the roof in a folded position. Upon deployment, the cabins array is lowered to the ground. It then unfolds, enabling emergency responders, HRT, Counter Terrorism squads, etc, to board. It travels upwards until it stops opposite five elevated floors simultaneously, enabling 150 occupants to enter or exit the building through specially configured exit windows.

The array is then lowered to the ground and tenants exit as it refolds. The system repeats this cycle, transporting responders up and into the building and evacuating tenants as required.

The Escape Rescue System, based on a unique, patent-pending technology, enjoys substantial advantages over competing concepts and other new products:

· Very high throughput capacity;

· Effective to all building heights;

· Serves both evacuation (“down”) and rescue personnel transport (“up”);

· Requires no skill or unfamiliar actions by evacuees; and is

· Suitable for all ages and physical conditions of evacuees, including disabled people.

First Responders enter the building 

 tenants are easily evacuated using the wheelchair accessible ramp.

Escape Rescue Systems Inc was awarded a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Designation as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (QATT) under the SAFETY act.

In view of this new and innovative evacuation technology, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has developed standards for high-rise building external evacuation devices and systems. The Escape Rescue System is the only platform solution to comply with ASTM Standard E 2513 for Multi-Story Building External Evacuation Platform Rescue Systems.

NFPA 2009 editions of both the Building Construction and Safety Code (NFPA 5000) and the Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) include adoptable annexes that specify conditions for installation of Platform rescue Systems (such as the Escape Rescue System).
