LOCAL COMPANY’S PRODUCT FEATURED on BOB VILA SHOW

HARRISBURG, PA – January 27, 2006 – The REDI-EXIT™ Fire Escape System, an advance in residential fire safety, has been selected to be featured on an upcoming episode of the nationally syndicated Bob Vila Show. Manufactured and marketed by Lewisberry based REDDCO Inc., the product has been on sale, throughout the U.S., for the past year. The REDI-EXIT Fire Escape System is a folding ladder permanently installed outside a bedroom window that looks like a downspout but opens instantly with the push of a knob providing a second way out in the event the normal bedroom exit is blocked by smoke or fire.

People becoming trapped in second floor bedrooms is a major contributor to fire related deaths. Although it takes time for a fire to spread from a downstairs ignition point to an upstairs sleeping area, it only takes a minute or two for thick black smoke to create deadly conditions in an upstairs hallway eliminating it as a safe escape route. Since most bedrooms have only one escape route, and this route is blocked by smoke, deaths occur by smoke inhalation.

Forest Whitesel, President of REDDCO Inc., devised the REDI-EXIT Escape System after his neighbor lost her life in a fire. When her escape route was blocked by smoke, she refused to jump from a second story bedroom window. She was finally rescued when firemen arrived but died the next day due to smoke inhalation. "I thought this was a tragic waste of life and began to search for an answer to the problem of fire deaths by entrapment", Whitesel said.

He believes the REDI-EXIT Escape System adds a new dimension to fire safety when used in conjunction with a smoke alarm and egress window. "It is extremely satisfying to be involved in the creation and distribution of a unique safety system that I know will save countless lives throughout the country", Whitesel says.

The Bob Vila Show airs in this area on WLYH-TV UPN 15 on Saturday March 4th at 8:00 a.m.
