About HRES
High Rise Escape Systems Inc. (HRES) was founded by Ryan Alles in 2005. Ryan spent over a decade in the U.S. emergency services as both an EMT and professional Fire Fighter. Frustrated and angered by the events of September 11th, 2001, which demonstrated how slow evacuations from high rise structures can be of the fatal consequence. He created solutions that the average citizen can afford.
Our Team
Over the last two decades we have become an international team dedicated to creating solutions that are adaptable to your individual needs and expectations. We pride ourselves on providing confidential installations, as many of our clients utilize these technologies as part of their family's personal security rather than a secondary means of fire escape.
