Evacuation Chairs are specially designed seats into which mobility-impaired people are secured and transported from a building, usually via stairways during an emergency.
Quick and easy to use, the Fixfire® range of evacuation chairs is tested to the highest standards and widely installed throughout the UK.
Legislation dictates that you must provide a safe means of evacuation for any persons who may be (or become) unable to use the exit routes in the event of a fire or any emergency.
