HOT•STOP® RIT Rescue Blanket

 

 

 

 

   

The HOTSTOP® RIT Rescue Blanket is designed to assist in the rescue and removal of downed firefighters

 

Provides exposure protection of a downed FF during assessment, SCBA changeover and extrication

Glas-Temp aluminized outer shell provides protection against radiant heat (to 1,000 F), cascading water & debris while the inner layer of Hot*Stop fabric offers added thermal protection (withstands direct flame contact for 30 min. - 2,080 F melting point)

Can be used as protective curtain between the rescue operation and flame source

 

 

 

Once the downed FF is freed & ready to be removed, the HOTSTOP® RIT Rescue Blanket acts as a protective stretcher while speeding removal compared to traditional lifts, carries & drags

 

 

Heavy duty construction ensures the HOTSTOP® RIT Rescue Blanket will be up to the job
  • Woven aramid strap handles sewn into 8' hem making them an integral part of the blanket

  • Three handles each side, one on each end & 18" drag straps allow for a variety of carry styles

  • Corner/tote handles reinforced with nickel plated steel rivets

  • Aramid cross reinforcing straps sewn across 56" width

  • Velcro backed webbing secures FF while carrying

 

Weighing just 19 pounds, the HOTSTOP® RIT Rescue Blanket is lightweight enough to be easily carried by one FF. Highly compact at only 9" D x 28" L, it easily fits in any apparatus compartment.

 

RIT/FAST teams perform one of the most physically strenuous tasks on the fireground. The Hot*Stop RIT Rescue Blanket is a practical tool that aids the timely removal of a downed FF to definitive care.

Work smarter, not harder with the Hot*Stop RIT Rescue Blanket!!
