A Dandy Fire Escape Demonstration For Schools
Ole Peterson of Brill demonstrated a hammock fire escape to the local school board. A large canvas roll attached to a second floor window was pulled to the ground by helpers, with ropes along each side to guide children. Hundreds of boys and dozens of so called false citizens slid down safely, with no danger if lower end holders are careful. Fifty children per minute can evacuate a high room using this method. It costs from 43 to - the range depends on building, and directors plan to install such escapes in Iowa and Minnesota schools.
