1. An emergency rope bail-out bag for use by a firefighter or other first responder or emergency rescuer, the bail-out bag comprising: a length of rope;a rappelling device;an escape hook;a main body having separate storage compartments for each of the length of rope, the rappelling device, and the escape hook; anda primary flap that is configured to move: (a) from a stow position wherein the storage compartments are covered so as to retain the length of rope, the rappelling device, and the escape hook in a stowed condition in their respective storage compartments; and (b) to a deploy position as an incident of which the storage compartments are caused to be exposed so as to allow deployment of the escape hook, rappelling device, and rope by a user, wherein the main body defines a cavity having an open end, and further comprising a divider flap located to divide the cavity into a first storage compartment of the separate storage compartments in which the length of rope is stored and a second storage compartment of the separate storage compartments in which the rappelling device is stored, wherein the main body has an exterior surface at which a third storage compartment of the separate storage compartments for the escape hook is defined, wherein the primary flap in the stow position overlays the third storage compartment for the escape hook. 2. The bail-out bag of claim 1 further comprising a containment flap movable between a stowed position wherein the containment flap extends across the open end of the cavity to cover the second storage location and a deployed position wherein the second storage location is opened to expose the rappelling device stored therein. 3. The bail-out bag of claim 2 wherein the containment flap and the primary flap are fastened together and configured so that the containment flap moves to the deployed position in response to the movement for the primary flap from the stow position to the deploy position. 4. The bail-out bag of claim 1 further comprising a pair of belt loop attachments located on the exterior surface of the main body on a side of the main body opposite from where the third storage compartment is located, the pair of belt loop attachments spaced from each other to allow the belt loop attachments to be located on opposite sides of a feature on a garment worn by a user for positive location of the bail-out bag relative to the body of a user. 5. The bail-out bag of claim 4 further comprising a series of additional belt loop attachments spaced along the main body to allow an adaptive fit of the bail-out bag to a variety of user's and garments, belts, or harnesses worn by a user. 6. The bail-out bag of claim 1 wherein the primary flap is configured to be removably attached to the main body to allow the primary flap to be completely separated from the main body in the deploy position. 7. An emergency rope bail-out bag for use by a firefighter or other first responder or emergency rescuer, the bail-cut bag comprising: a main body defining an interior cavity having an open end;a divider flap located in the cavity and formed into a AU″ shaped portion so as to divide the cavity into a first storage compartment to store a length of rope and a second storage compartment to store a rappelling device;a containment flap movable between a stowed position wherein the containment flap extends across the open end of the cavity to cover the second storage location and a deployed position wherein the second storage location is opened to allow a rappelling device stored therein to be accessed; anda primary flap that is movable from a stow position to a deploy position, the primary flap and the containment flap fastened to each other so that the containment flap moves to the deployed position in response to the movement for the primary flap from the stow position to the deploy position, wherein the main body has an exterior surface where a third storage compartment stores an escape hook, and wherein the primary flap in the stow position overlays the third storage compartment. 8. The bail-out bag of claim 7 further comprising a pair of belt loop attachments located on the exterior surface of the main body on a side of the main body opposite from where the third storage compartment is located, the pair of belt loop attachments spaced from each other to allow the belt loop attachments to be located on opposite sides of a feature on a garment worn by a user for positive location of the bail-out bag relative to the body of a user. 9. The bail-out bag of claim 8 further comprising a series of additional belt loop attachments spaced along the main body to allow an adaptive fit of the bail-out bag to a variety of user's and garments, belts, or harnesses worn by a user. 10. The bail-out bag of claim 7 wherein the primary flap is removably attached to the main body to allow the primary flap to be complete separated from the main body in the deploy position. 11. A method for stowing and deploying a rope, rappelling device, and escape hook, the method comprising the steps of: locating a rope, a rappelling device, and an escape hook in specific preselected compartments on a user with the rope, rappelling device and escape hook covered at their respective compartments; andgrasping a single flap and moving the single flap from a stow position to a deploy position as an incident of which a plurality of additional flaps releasably connected to the single flap are released from the single flap to expose the rope the rappelling device and the escape hook for deployment. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein the locating step comprises stowing the rope and rappelling device in a cavity of a bag with a divider located between the rope and rappelling device that divides the cavity into separate compartments. 13. The method of claim 12 wherein the stowing step further comprises stowing the escape hook in a respective compartment that is in the form of a pocket at an exterior of the bag. 14. The method of claim 11 wherein the locating step comprises locating at least one of the rappelling device and the escape hook adjacent a specific pocket of a garment worn by a user. 15.
