Fire escapes

Have any of you given thought to how to get your dog(s) out from an upstairs room in the event of a fire? We're looking at it for our new house, which has Velux windows only upstairs. We'll get a window ladder or similar so we can get out safely but I'm now trying to envisage how to get a 25kg stressed dog out. Not that we're planning on having a fire, but just in case...

That's a very very good question.

Is the main issue getting the dog through the velux window or how to get off the roof once outside ?
Just wondering what you do for a full multistory building (without living in a converted attic, so to speak) ?
We live on ground level so it’s not an issue for us at the moment.

It's a bit of both, but probably more the latter half. And then I got thinking in general.

Here we have our escape route planned out from upstairs - the conservatory roof is strong enough to take the weight of a person. And in every house I've had I've known what my fire escape route is from upstairs. It's the first time I've asked myself how I'd get a dog out.

Looks like I'm not the only one ever to have wondered about it...

Clever idea! Pricey, though, for something you will hopefully never need.

Billy stays in the kitchen, so no issue here. Id be smashing a window in the door or something..

But from upstairs, you could fashion some sort of bag or quick fastening safety harness you can put them into, with a rope to lower down?
