Hope to never have to do it during a fire. I have practiced it under non fire conditions just as I am sure everyone else has.
The plan is to take a few turns around the anchor and put the carabiner back on the rope. The rope is already tied into a figure 8 at the top and into a carabiner. I will wrap the rope under my arms or the bottom of my foot for an emergency escape. I carry rope for that reason but no harness. No one goes to a fire knowing you will have to make an emergency escape. I don't think there is enough time for it all. Now do it under rapidly deteriorating conditions, zero visibility and very high levels of stress. I know about the Halligan in the corner of the window but you had better practiced it before and keep a lot of tension on the rope while heading out. I think it all sounds great but my concern is the time it takes under perfect conditions to find and tie off to a substantial object, deploy the rope, wrap the carabiner and slide down.
