PEARL - Permanent Escape And Rescue Ladder      

Customer Reviews & References

Moms and experts agree…

"I never really gave it a lot of thought. Every October during Fire Prevention Week our children would come home from school with a new kit for planning our escape. Every year we dutifully filled it out. We always assumed we would just use the stairs. We never really considered what we would do if the stairs were not an option. We have two teenagers and a toddler. We all sleep upstairs. It took about 60 seconds to decide to order enough PEARLs for all our upstairs bedrooms. We have smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, but I felt silly we'd never handled this part of protecting our family. Now I rest comfortably knowing my family is safe. Small price to pay for such peace of mind."

– Pat H., mom, Decatur, GA

"In the event of fire or emergency in the home, there is a gap in attempting to safely escape from a second or third story bedroom window. Every new residential structure is required to have an emergency escape window in each second or third floor bedroom. However, very few have a permanently installed escape ladder providing a safe means to get out of those windows, thereby creating a gap in emergency egress. PEARL Protected fills that gap with their PEARL Permanent Escape And Rescue Ladder, offering families a safe option to escape a fire or other emergency and then proceed to a predetermined assembly area." –Jim McMullen / Chief Safety Officer

- PEARL Protected, Retired California Fire Marshal, Davis, CA

"When I first heard about PEARL I was sad to think of myself as one of the statistics. We have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers but we have not developed escape options. Now we have a complete fire safety plan that includes escape routes and PEARL."

– Stacy G., mom, Duluth, GA

"As a retired Volunteer Fire Chief in Florida and a former fire safety educator, PEARL is the first permanent ladder that assures easy and safe exit from a 2nd floor and conforms to the National Fire Protection Association's "home fire escape plan's" requirements."

–Steve B., Cumming, GA

"Now that PEARL is available, our whole family will have a safe way out just in case we ever need it. I thought it was going to be an eyesore. Once painted, it blended beautifully but is still right where we need it. Every family should have PEARL."

–Melissa, mom, Providence, R.I.

"From my perspective as a real estate agent, I can’t imagine why anyone would build a house without PEARL. As a homeowner, I’m looking forward to having them installed in my home."

–Lyn H., real estate professional, Destin, FL

“Escape has traditionally been overlooked by home security companies. However, Ackerman believes it’s just as important as detecting danger and alerting emergency services.”

–Jim Callahan, vice president of sales, Ackerman Security Systems

“I am extremely pleased by the leadership of our East Point City Council members. Like many other cities throughout our nation, we have identified the need to improve home fire safety for our citizens, especially when it comes to the critical moment of escape. Having a smoke alarm is simply no longer enough when it comes to having a solid residential fire safety plan. I am pleased our Council and municipal staff have taken such progressive measures to protect our residents. At the end of the day, we have saved lives.”

–Honorable Joseph L. Macon, Mayor, City of East Point, Georgia
(first city in the U.S. to require permanent escape ladders in multi story residences)

“Anything we can do to better serve and protect our citizens from this threat, as well as educate them on residential fire safety, is simply our responsibility. The true value of this [Permanent Escape Ladder] Ordinance will be realized the day it saves the first person’s life.”

–Fire Chief Rosemary Cloud // East Point, GA

“Making PEARL available to our customers for purchase and installation shows our commitment to overall home improvement – and that includes residential fire safety. We think that the same mother that calls us to baby proof her home or recaulk a tub needs to know how new safety products, like PEARL, could save her kids’ lives.”

–John Eggenberger, VP of corporate development, Mr. Handyman

“As the second largest homebuilder in the greater Sacramento area, we feel it is our obligation to help protect the families who purchase our homes. To ensure their safety and help prevent tragedy in the communities where we build, KB Home will be offering PEARL to all of our Sacramento buyers.”
