Hope everyone ended up ok.


Fire certainly is a fearful thing. But you needn’t worry too much about a stuck slide. Even a big full wall slide has a manual retract procedure. You just need to find it and print out a set of instructions to have with you. Or, better still, practice it a time or two on a nice day when you have the time. When my biggish slide failed it was threatening rain and I needed to be 500 miles away. Once I figured out the procedure it was a simple 20 minute process for me to push it in by myself. Depending on your system and your slide you might need several helpers but it’s really not difficult or scary. You can buy or make a simple slide lock to hold the slide in while you travel after a manual retract.
