A deployable emergency escape ladder is provided that permits rapid egress from the upper floors of a building or home in the event of a fire. A canvas pouch is located directly below the interior sill of a second story or higher window. The pouch is fastened securely via a metal back plate that penetrates through the rear of the pouch and fastens to the wall. Connected to this metal plate and rolled up inside the pouch is a KEVLAR(R) rope ladder with PVC runs with the exception of the bottom rung which is made of weighted aluminum. This weighted lowest step allows the invention to unroll and hang on the exterior of the building in a secure fashion without swaying.
