More than 4,000 Americans die each year in fires, and more than 25,000 are injured. Deaths resulting from failed emergency escapes are particularly avoidable.

The United States Fire Administration (USFA), a division of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), believes that having a sound escape plan will greatly reduce fire deaths and protect you and your family's safety if a fire occurs.

Fire escapes are the most overlooked fire protection device. Many property owners may not realize that the potential for danger exists until, in some cases, tragedy strikes. Fire escape manufacturers recommend that all types of fire escapes should be serviced once in every 12 month period. These metal structures are being continuously stressed by the constant moisture and in our area, salt air. The Lightship Group can fabricate a new fire escape, modify or repair your existing escape.
