FFRED (Fire Fighter Rescue Escape Device) was conceived that night. After several years of research and development this system is finally on the market. FFRED utilizes technologies and methods new to the fire and utility service. The entire device was designed and tested as a system utilizing high temperature escape line and lightweight materials. It is important that all of the components be used together as a UL certified escape system. Utilizing individual components separately will not have the same effect and could prove to be dangerous.

The goal of this company is to provide reliable, affordable and easy-to-use rescue and escape systems to fire fighters, utility, industrial and public safety personnel.

RIT's Retractable Tag Line contains 20' of our 6MM Kevlar over polyester rope and is self retracting. Used in conjunction with our Group Search Kit, it allows a Firefighter to make his search quicker and more accurate. All group search kits can be customized by replacing the standard tag line with the retractable tag line.

The primary lines come in two different bag styles, our Chicago style bag and our standard bag, both are Cordura material. Primary lines have the option of being euipped with the knot and ring marker system. The ring provides a secure fixed anchor for attaching tag lines.

GROUP SEARCH SYSTEMS

RIT's Group Search Kit makes large area search and RIT team operations a safer task. The standard kit is set up for a four person team and provides a lifeline to the outside for each member. For searching a large area the optional marker system of knots and rings assists in performing a systematic search and prevents duplication of search areas. The knot and ring system assures team members of their location and exit direction. RIT operations are also supported with this system. While searching for one of our own we have a tendency to search harder and longer than normal. Each RIT team member is not only connected to the outside, but the system also leads secondary RIT teams to their location for assistance and/or supplies.   •100' or 200' Primary lines are made of 9.5MM Kevlar over Polyester rope that carry an 862 degree F. temperature rating and a 7600 pound tensile strength. •Each kit comes with three 25' tag lines. •Retractable tag lines may be substituted for standard lines •Standard tag lines utilize 3/8 •Retractable tag lines utilize a 6MM Kevlar over polyester rope which carries an 862 degree temperature rating and a 4000 pound tensile strength Both primary and tag lines come with a non-rated snap hook
