Contents The One Step Bail Out System consists of five parts. Each piece has an integral part to the ease of the system. The System contains two carabineers, one large and one smaller (or the optional FDNY Crosby Escape Hook.) A Sterling Rope F4 descender. 30 to 50 feet of Sterling Rope. The amount of rope is up to the user. There are different types of rope to choose from. 30 to 50 feet will easily fit into the bag but more or less could be used. A rope bag to contain the system. Options We want to be able to accomodate to indivuals proferences. Therefore we offer a selection of two different hooks and three different types of rope to pick from. Each kit comes with one hook and one rope. Anchor Hook: There is a choice of two different anchor hooks to pick from. We offer the kit with the SMC XL Steel Rescue Carabiner or the FDNY Crosby Escape Hook. Rope: There are three choices in rope. The escape Tech 7.5mm, the Rit 500 8mm and the Fire Tech 7.5mm. For more information contact a salesman at Haight Fire Equipment. Operation The system is very simple to use. The rope bag is kept in the side pocket of the bunker pants. The system can be used on either the left hand or right hand side. This depends on which side the firefighters harness opens up on. The smaller carabineer is attached to the firefighters harness. The system works with most harness systems on the market including the Gemtor, Morning Pride, and Gut Belt. If the firefighter finds him or herself in a situation where flashover is imminent the system should be deployed. Once the firefighter locates a window they must reach into their pocket to find the large carabineer, clamp the carabineer onto an anchor point. An anchor point could be a large piece of furniture, a radiator, a tool or the windowsill. The firefighter then is able to climb out the window and lower him or herself down to safety. The advantage of this system is the simplicity. All you need to do is hook onto an anchor point and go out the window to safety.
Training The operation section of this page explains the basic operation. For the system to be effective the firefighter must be trained on the system and practice deploying it until the firefighter feels comfortable with the use. Please contact your salesman from Haight Fire Equipment to schedule a training class.
Compatability The One Step Bail Out System is compatable with many different personal harness systems. The following are some harness systems that work with the One Step Bail Out System.
