EVAC+CHAIR®: A Lifesaver in Fire Emergencies
At Fire Prevention & Consultancy Services (FPCS) based in Kolkata, our paramount concern is your safety. Beyond merely combating fires, we innovate strategies to forestall them and ensure your safe evacuation in case of emergencies. Allow us to introduce you to a remarkable lifesaver: the EVAC+CHAIR®!
The Backstory: A Superhero is Born
Back in the 1980s, a guy named David Egen faced a tough situation. His wife, who used a wheelchair, needed a way to escape a high-rise fire. That’s when the EVAC+CHAIR® was born! It’s more than just a chair; it’s a clever invention that lets people evacuate buildings safely, even if stairs are out of the question.
More Than Just Sitting Around: EVAC+CHAIR® in Action
The EVAC+CHAIR® has a pretty impressive history. During the 9/11 attacks, it helped save over six lives! It’s a true hero, quietly going about its business and keeping people safe.
How Does it Work?
Every superhero needs a special power, and the EVAC+CHAIR® is no different. Its secret weapon is called Polymatic Traction™. This fancy term basically means it lets you descend smoothly at a safe speed, no matter your weight. Think of it as the Iron Man suit for evacuation chairs!
Keeping Up with the Times: A Stylish Upgrade
Just like any superhero, the EVAC+CHAIR® gets makeovers too! Now, it has an extendable handle and a lightweight design, making it super easy to use in an emergency. It’s kind of like the Flash of evacuation chairs – fast, agile, and always ready to go. Plus, it even has a built-in wheelchair option!
Choosing Your Fire Safety Sidekick
Here at FPCS, we know how important it is to have the right tools for the job. The EVAC+CHAIR® is lightweight, strong, and lets you control your descent speed – basically, it’s the ultimate evacuation partner.
So, next time you see an EVAC+CHAIR®, remember – it’s not just a chair. It’s a superhero in disguise, ready to lend a helping hand (or rather, wheel) when you need it most.
