Escape Rescue Systems

Escape Rescue Systems Overview

Escape Rescue Systems is a public safety company that has developed a multiplatform rescue system designed to be installed unobtrusively on a rooftop with almost no alteration to the building required. The system facilitates the evacuation of tenants from high-rise buildings and enables the rapid and safe deployment of rescue forces to an emergency. The Escape Rescue Standard System consists of an array of up to five collapsible cabins that are permanently stored on the roof in a folded position. Upon deployment, the cabin array travels to the facade of the building and is lowered to the ground, enabling emergency responders to board the cabins. The extended array travels upward until it stops opposite five floors, enabling up to 30 people to board each cabin simultaneously through specially configured exit windows. The array is then lowered to the ground, and the evacuees exit each cabin as it refolds. The system repeats the cycle, transporting responders up and into the building and evacuating people as required.

Helping America get out of a scrape

Israeli company Escape is promoting an external collapsible elevator for rescuing people from skyscrapers. The company is targeting the American market, but faces obstacles due to existing American standards. However, Escape has built a network of contacts in New York and is working with the city municipality and national institutions to promote regulatory and political processes to change the standards. The company is confident that it can change the American standard and start selling its rescue systems in the U.S. Escape is one of four Israeli companies, along with Mosrot Technologies, Doublexit, and AES, collaborating on a joint operation in the U.S. to increase awareness and interest in rescue kits for buildings. The American visit to Israel by representatives from New York, including Yvette Clark, is part of these efforts.
