The Rite Rescue Systems RAP (Remove and Protect) was invented by three firefighters who realized that not one piece of equipment on the market was designed to transport an unconscious firefighter. This multifunctional device offers tremendous versatility and several configurations.
If you encounter an incident's worst-case scenario-a firefighter going down in the basement of a private dwelling-what do you use to move the victim? Most firefighters carry webbing to apply to the unconscious firefighter. Others may use a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) waist belt to create a harness. The RAP litter can be used for this and much more.
