| Fire Department Questions |
Answers |
| 1. Can our fire department obtain a sample EXO System for testing? |
Yes, but you must first have a Petzl Sales representative provide a 2 hour long demonstration of the EXO system to your organization’s assigned test personnel. The EXO system must be returned following testing. |
| 2. Can individual firefighters purchase the EXO system without their fire departments approval? |
Yes, but you must first attend an EXO end user course before purchasing the kit. Call Rescue Response Gear for certification dates. |
| 3. Can Petzl recommend training organizations that provide EXO system end user and train the trainer courses? |
Yes. Also, as a uniquely certified demonstration site for the EXO system, Rescue Response Gear is equipped to provide certified training courses through their partner Authorized Training organizations. |
| 4. Can fire departments have their Training Officers participate in an EXO trainer course so that they can in turn train their own firefighters? |
Yes. You can qualify to become an Authorized EXO trainer. Contact Petzl or Rescue Response Gear for more information. |
| 5. Can these Training Officers train other fire departments outside their department? |
No. This qualification is specific to your organization. |
| 6. Can fire departments purchase the EXO and Triact carabiner components separately from their kits? |
No. The EXO kit is engineered as a complete system and is manufactured, tested and inspected under Petzl’s ISO 9001 quality control standard and certified under NFPA standards as a complete personal escape system. |
