Evacuating differently abled, elderly people or pregnant women from apartments to safety, in case of any emergency such as fire, bomb threat, earthquake etc., is the biggest challenge as the lifts are generally grounded in such scenarios. During a fire the critical time for evacuating the people at floor level is 2.5 minutes since fire and smoke can engulf the entire floor. The Evacuation chair is a comfortable chair that moves effortlessly on wheels over flat surfaces and simply glides down the staircase. The Evacuation / Rescue chair is a single operator model that can be easily operated by just one person.
