FAST RESCUE SOLUTIONS, LLC

Capabilities

Fast Rescue Solutions (FRS) started from a need that has been present since I started with the Fire Department 20 years ago. That need became even more clear 12 years ago when I joined my department's first Special Operations team. That need was the movement and removal of downed personnel and civilians from a hazardous environment. In the past, the mindset was to adapt rope rescue into emergence evacuation. FRS is taking the opposite approach -- we are taking emergency evacuation and integrating it into rope rescue. We originally developed the FAST (Firefighter Assistance Search Team) Board with the specific intent to be able to remove a firefighter from a basement. Since that time, we have continued to refine the FAST Board to included uses in situations such as: Ice rescue Water rescue Confined space rescue Mass casualty Active shooter scenarios
