Lost and don’t know which way to go? As visibility drops to near zero, have you ever asked yourself: "How far have I gone? How far is it to get out?” Or, "Is this the right direction?" Ever had to remove your gloves to tie an overhand knot? These are things of the past—when your team leader is carrying the new Safer Search Device System from Fire Research Corp.
An innovative search line system. Locking markers show distance, direction, and position along the line. It’s uniquely engineered and carefully configured to get you through the most difficult conditions. The Safer Search Device System makes conducting team searches easier—and far safer—even when building construction, layout, or inherent hazards take you beyond the scope of ordinary search techniques. The kit’s 200 ft. of PMI Rapid Search Line II is highly-visible and easy to grip, even with gloved hands. But this system is much more than just a good rope. Every 25 feet, specially designed aluminum markers are set in a pattern that tells direction of travel, distance from the egress, and position along the line. The sliding Safer Search Device (SSD) can be moved along the rope in either direction until it reaches one of the tapered Lock/Direction Markers and automatically locks into place—reminding the firefighter to stop, assess conditions, communicate findings, and feel for the distance-indicating markers set at either side. A simple squeeze releases it…so you can resume the search, or reverse directions to head for safety.
Complete and ready to deploy. The search line and both tag lines are permanently attached to ultra-light auto-locking aluminum carabiners that just snap onto an attachment point...and unlock with a simple squeeze. The entire kit fits into a durable stuff bag designed for comfortable carry, easy deployment, and quick-release in an emergency. The complete system, packed with 200 feet of rope and all included accessories, measures 15" x 12" x 7" and weighs under 14 lbs.
