Currently the only system that we are utilizing is gravity!!! We are not allowed to purchase our own bailout systems.
I am looking for some info on the bailout system that Orlando Fire Department uses, if anyone has any info please send it to
forcethedoor@hotmail.com
I am specifically looking for who makes it? How the guys like it? Pros and cons, etc.
Thanks,
Andrew
"We are not allowed to purchase our own..." Wow! As a Union guy I believe that we should never buy anything on our own to provide safety measures. The union should push and shove over safety. However, my department does not want anyone buying these either but the city attorney is reported to be saying the job can not make this decision or force guys to remove them as it is akin to telling a police officer to not wear a bullet proof vest. Once you guys start getting them the city would be accepting huge liabilities telling you to remove them. My suggestion is build a core group of Brothers that are willing to purchase and train on one system (after testing many the Petzl has risen above the rest) and buy that system and then when the dept realizes they are stuck with this liability, they will likely see that you guys have already adopted a standard one and will hopefully approve it. Good luck and remember if we put the fire out there is no need to dive out a window.
