A flexible fire ladder is stowed in a housing mounted between a pair of projecting beams within a decorative overhang over a window of a building. The housing is either underside a pivotly mounted hopper, or is formed by a soffit below the roof overhang and includes a pivotly mounted door. In either event, the hopper or door is retained in place by a catch. A cable for articulating the catch passes within the building wall to a handle mounted near the window. The cable may be pulled either manually by the handle or by a solenoid responsive to a fire detector.
