A movable type staircase is disclosed, particularly one which is located at the exterior wall or veranda at various floor levels of a building. In an emergency, a safety bar on any floor may be pushed aside to enable the movable staircase to unfold itself and connect rapidly by its own gravity with the veranda or fire exit at a lower floor level. Also by means of the force produced when the movable type staircase is being lowered, a safety bar at the next lower floor level will be further pushed aside to again enable that movable staircase to unfold itself and rapidly connect by its own gravity with still another lower floor level and so on until the various floor levels which are lower than the floor which the user is staying can be connected automatically in a way similar to an indoor staircase. It is a staircase which provides a highly safe and automatic means of escape for people in time of emergency.
