We investigate the escape probabilities of the photons near the horizon of the Kerr-Sen black hole. We find that the escape probabilities of the photons are nonzero in the event horizon limit of the extreme Kerr-Sen black hole if the light sources are near the equator. We show that the escape probability of a photon increases with the increasing radial position of the light source. It is also uncovered that the escape probability decreases if the light source with constant radius moves from the equatorial plane to the pole. Besides, we discover that the escape probability of a photon in the Carter frame is always greater than the one in the locally nonrotating frame, except on the pole, where they are equal.
