Fire Escape: When Jumping is Survival

Let’s face it, things can go wrong on a ladder bailout.  Protect yourself.  Don’t rely on others.  In the real world the ladder isn’t always there when you need it most.  Invest in your own life’s longevity.  Consider the advantages of your own personal escape kit.  Fighting fire on upper stories while equipped with a personal escape kit helps keep your own life in your own hands.  With a good anchor and the heightec-PMI™ Micron Escape Kit you can help to ensure your own, injury-free, escape. Rescue Response Gear has available both the 15M and the 30M kits.

heightec-PMI™ Micron Escape Kit, 15M

The Micron is a new personal micro-descender for personal escape. This tiny descender employs a unique, patented braking system to allow a finely controlled descent, and features an auto-locking “panic mode” if the handle is either squeezed too hard or released. The Micron is one of the most versatile escape tools on the market today. Compact size with “full size” functionality will appeal to many industries but in particular fire service, wind turbine, offshore, and tower. It’s compact size makes it easy to carry on any harness.

  • Integrated Technora rescue line
  • Compact & Lightweight
  • Can be carried easily in a small pouch

Kit Includes:

  • Micron micro-descender
  • ANSI carabiner

Emergency Response Solutions for Latin American

Although ERSLA is working with a number of NGO’s, there is a core group of individuals directly involved.  Each comes with their own set of skills, talents and histories, but share a single focus of sustainability.  I recently met up with Mark Taylor (North American Director for ERSLA and Training Chief for Bend Fire Department in Bend Oregon) to discuss not only ERSLA’s involvement within the constructs of the Nicaraguan emergency response community, but also how Rescue Response Gear can come along side of ERSLA as well. For more on what ERSLA is about and see the work being done within the Latin American borders visit their website.
