When there happens a fire emergency, people in high-rise flats are in the most dangerous situation. They have no way out and are most difficult to be
saved.
This fire escape system consists of a steel tube and a scalable module which is insetted in the building in the normal situation to secure safety in neighborhood. When fire happens, the module springs out automatically and slips from top to each floor and lets people stamp onto it.
People stand on it and escape from the fire inside the building, and the round underpan increases the capacity to hold people, which is effective and efficient for fire escape.
