Interesting tactics. We don't have harnesses and hooks in the UK as Firefighters, but this seems like a cost effective and life saving option and seeing this drilled at full speed was really cool. Thanks brothers 🤙🏻
Not a stupid Q at all, but I addressed it in the video - If all the FFs are exiting a single window there is too great of a chance that the FF anchoring and exiting on the opposite side would leg sweep and kick the preceding FF's hook out of position. However, if you are presented with 2 windows side by side than YES, it is better for the FF at the left window to anchor their hook on the left side of their window and the other FF on the right window to anchor their hook on the right side of the window they're exiting - The hooks than would be far enough away from each other to avoid being kicked out of position by either FF. There is A LOT of elements to consider for self-rescue, not to mention even more for using these systems for victim rescue.
Well, your only other alternative is to jump or burn to death - So I'll stick with carrying my system. In the end there are many different window configurations that you can be presented with - Practicing for a variety of scenarios is the key to success - There is never a guarantee, but with proper and routine training you can increase your chances of survival. Research and read about the Yonkers NY LODD that occurred on Oct 2, 2009 - A multiple FF bailout that seriously injured 2 FFs and killed a 3rd - None had systems
@@tdwz1652 no but if your egress is cut off during a search and there's no ladder up its a great method to escape before extreme fire behavior happens.
@@engineco.1494 yea for sure i totally agree i think this is a great system, i was just pointing out to the other fella that a flashover situtation is hell no matter what way you look at it
@@DALEGPEKEL To be fair Dale half of your bailout problems are caused by some of your tactics like going in without a charged hoseline and the getting in trouble. That's why you have so many maydays. We never go in without a charged line whether it be for a search or firefighting. But hey we all do things differently.

Definitely will show this to my department
Thinking outside the box, it's what firefighters do best. Great use of the Halligan.

Happy Retirement Cap
Stupid question, but why not anchor to the other side of the window??

Did this guy watch and listen to the video ??
Nice!
Still waiting on our bailout kits to come in, but once they do I’ll be showing this to the guys. Thanks!
Haha no firemen in chigago wears scba
LOL - Well they definitely should all carry some type of escape system then!
Good concept....but I don't see that idea being affect in a flashover situation.
i dont see there being any great ideas in a flashover situation

Very good
How do they retrieve the halligan once they're out of the window?
When the fire's out you can go back to the room and retrieve it - Until then it's a write off.
Why not put the knot farther down off the hook?
You would have to use a different knot - A figure 8 would be an option, but that knot will not work with our storage setup as it's too bulky
I LOVE FF!
What is the name of that self rescue device?
Sterling F4 with a CMC Flash 2 anchor hook
А из окна четвёртого этажа слабо?
