May 19, 2008—High Rise Escape Systems, Inc., announced that the United States General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded the company GSA contract number GS-07F-0340U.
The designation opens up vast opportunities for High Rise Escape Systems, Inc., to sell its specialized evacuation systems for medium to high rise buildings to all branches of the US government, notes the company. The GSA designation will immediately expose High Rise Escape Systems, Inc., and its Guardian and Responder Emergency Evacuation Systems to thousands of existing and future US government facilities in the United States and around the world.
Each year there are thousands of fires and structural failures in skyscrapers, office buildings, high rise condominiums and hotels that create life-threatening circumstances for residents, tenants and guests. High Rise Escape Systems’ Guardian and Responder Emergency Evacuation Systems are designed to save lives, whether directly because of a terrorist incident or because of one of the many other reasons that people need to safely be evacuated from a dangerous building when the current conventional methods cannot be used. The High Rise Escape Systems’ Guardian and Responder Emergency Evacuation Systems serve as both alternative and supplemental means of egress for buildings and structures of up to 999 feet, about 100 floors.
High Rise Escape Systems, Inc., is a privately held public company. For more information, see the Web site.
