Firefighting Escape Chute Emergency Exit from High Buildings

This escape chute is about personnel escape systems for buildings and tall structures. For escape systems for large vehicles, see Evacuation slide.
An escape chute is a special kind of emergency exit, used where conventional fire escape stairways are impractical. The chute is a fabric (or occasionally metal) tube installed near a special exit on an upper floor or roof of a building, or a tall structure. During use, the chute is deployed, and may be secured at the bottom by a fire fighting crew some distance out from the building. once the tube is ready, escapees enter the tube and slide down to a lower level or the ground level.
