PEARL Customer Reviews & References
Moms and experts agree…
"I never really gave it a lot of thought. Every October
during Fire Prevention Week our children would come home from school
with a new kit for planning our escape. Every year we dutifully filled
it out. We always assumed we would just use the stairs. We never really
considered what we would do if the stairs were not an option.
We
have two teenagers and a toddler. We all sleep upstairs. It took
about 60 seconds to decide to order enough PEARLs for all our upstairs
bedrooms. We have smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, but I felt
silly we'd never handled this part of protecting our family. Now
I rest comfortably knowing my family is safe. Small price to pay for such
peace of mind."
– Pat H., mom, Decatur, GA
"In the event of fire or emergency in the home, there is
a gap in attempting to safely escape from a second or third story bedroom
window. Every new residential structure is required to have an emergency
escape window in each second or third floor bedroom. However, very few
have a permanently installed escape ladder providing a safe means to get
out of those windows, thereby creating a gap in emergency egress. PEARL
Protected fills that gap with their PEARL Permanent Escape And Rescue
Ladder, offering families a safe option to escape a fire or other emergency
and then proceed to a predetermined assembly area." –Jim McMullen
/ Chief Safety Officer
- PEARL Protected, Retired California Fire Marshal,
Davis, CA
"When I first heard about PEARL I was sad to think of myself
as one of the statistics. We have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers
but we have not developed escape options. Now we have a complete fire
safety plan that includes escape routes and PEARL."
– Stacy G.,
mom, Duluth, GA
"As a retired Volunteer Fire Chief in Florida and a former fire safety educator,
PEARL is the first permanent ladder that assures easy and safe exit from a 2nd
floor and conforms to the National Fire Protection Association's "home fire escape
plan's" requirements."
–Steve B., Cumming, GA
"Now that PEARL is available, our whole family will have
a safe way out just in case we ever need it. I thought it was going to
be an eyesore. Once painted, it blended beautifully but is still right
where we need it. Every family should have PEARL."
–Melissa, mom,
Providence, R.I.
"From my perspective as a real estate agent, I can’t
imagine why anyone would build a house without PEARL. As a homeowner,
I’m looking forward to having them installed in my home."
–Lyn
H., real estate professional, Destin, FL
“Escape has traditionally been overlooked by home
security companies. However, Ackerman believes it’s just as important
as detecting danger and alerting emergency services.”
–Jim
Callahan, vice president of sales, Ackerman Security Systems
“I am extremely pleased by the leadership of our East
Point City Council members. Like many other cities throughout our nation,
we have identified the need to improve home fire safety for our citizens,
especially when it comes to the critical moment of escape. Having a smoke
alarm is simply no longer enough when it comes to having a solid residential
fire safety plan. I am pleased our Council and municipal staff have taken
such progressive measures to protect our residents. At the end of the
day, we have saved lives.”
–Honorable Joseph L. Macon, Mayor,
City of East Point,
Georgia
(first city in the U.S. to require permanent
escape ladders in multi story residences)
“Anything we can do to better serve and protect our
citizens from this threat, as well as educate them on residential fire
safety, is simply our responsibility. The true value of this [Permanent
Escape Ladder] Ordinance will be realized the day it saves the first person’s
life.”
–Fire Chief Rosemary Cloud // East Point, GA
“Making PEARL available to our customers for purchase
and installation shows our commitment to overall home improvement – and
that includes residential fire safety. We think that the same mother
that calls us to baby proof her home or recaulk a tub needs to know how
new safety products, like PEARL, could save her kids’ lives.”
–John
Eggenberger, VP of corporate development, Mr. Handyman
“As the second largest homebuilder in the greater
Sacramento area, we feel it is our obligation to help protect the families
who purchase our homes. To ensure their safety and help prevent tragedy
in the communities where we build, KB Home will be offering PEARL to all
of our Sacramento buyers.”
– Barry Grant, KB Home, Sacramento
division president
“Safety shouldn’t be an option for anyone, least
of all Ryland Homes’ customers. We’re in the business of providing
the best to our homeowners and that extends beyond the typical luxury
upgrades. We want our customers to know that their home is built with
comfort and safety in mind.”
–Dana Rogers, vice president
of sales and marketing, Ryland Homes, Las Vegas
"We think [an escape ladder] is an up-and coming feature
for our buyers, and it provides a level of comfort for them and their
families.”
–Tony Wyman, Fresno division manager of D.R. Horton.
