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.
