However, while we’ve made very important strides in enhancing the overall safety and security of our firefighters, more can still be done – particularly around the mass adoption of certified standard-issue bailout systems.īailout systems provide quick, efficient, and safe methods for escaping a fire when standard methods of departure – via stairs, elevator, or a ladder – are not possible. We’ve established Rapid Intervention Crews (RIC) – whose sole job is dedicated to the search, rescue, and extrication of lost or down firefighters – and we now prioritize the “softening” of structures during firefighting activities, to best ensure safe and easy entry and exit. Over the past decade, our industry has begun to place even greater emphasis on firefighter safety.
