How Would A Fire
Change Your Life?
Life-Slide® is a portable emergency evacuation slide that provides a safe
escape route for those trapped on the 2nd floor of a house fire.
The Life-Slide Story
Sixteen years ago, the day before Thanksgiving, Dave and Kathi Bambrick learned about two grandparents and their 3 grandchildren who all perished in a home fire. Firefighters found the family in a closet on the second floor. That started them thinking, why is there nothing that can help people escape a fire from the second floor of their homes?
Most fire-related deaths occur on the second floor, and children and senior adults are at the highest risk. Determined to change these heartbreaking statistics, Dave and Kathi invented Life-Slide.
When do most home fires occur?
Most fires start at night when families are asleep.
Residential fires and related deaths occur more often during cold-weather months, December through February, due to portable or area heating equipment.
Home fires are more common on Saturday and Sunday, and tend to peak between 6:00 and 7:00 PM.
Fire related deaths and injuries:
Children 6 and under and adults 65 and older have the highest risk of fire related deaths.
Each year, nearly 40,000 children ages 14 and under are injured by fires in the home.
Over half of children ages 5 and under who die from home fires are asleep at the time of the fire.
Another 1/3 of these children are too young to react appropriately.
How does it work?
Life-Slide is an inflatable slide packed inside a portable container. The slide inflates rapidly and is sturdy enough for all family members to slide down safely. This revolutionary device makes it easy for your entire family to escape to safety from an upper floor window.
