The Fire Wedge is a multifunctional rescue tool that is used in fire rescue and emergency response situations (specifically extrication and ladder operations).
3 FUNCTIONS (high friction factor for all)
1) Fire Ground Ladder Leveler (provides an anti-slip, stable, firm, level base for a variety of ladders on sloped or inclined ground surfaces).
-
U.S.A.'s first NFPA 1931/1932, OSHA 1926, and ANSI A14 compliant ladder leveler
-
Purpose built ladder leveler for the fire service (i.e. 750 load rating with a 4:1 safety factor)
-
Safe, fast, and reliable ladder leveling on most surfaces or slopes with extreme ladder working angles
-
Heel assist (kickout prevention)
-
Fast and stable ladder leveling for bailouts, VES / VEIS and RIT
-
allows a ground fire ladder to be safely used on a slope or uneven terrain.
-
drastically reduces the risk of falling from a ground ladder.
-
aids in preventing ladder kickout for rescue angles of inclination and bailout on all types of surfaces.
2) Vehicular Extrication Cribbing
-
NFPA 1670 & 1006 compliant cribbing / chocks
-
U.S.A.'s first Stackable Cribbing on slopes
-
Grippy (high friction factor)
-
Heavy capture
-
Direct Flame / heat resistant
-
Tough & durable
-
Compatible with current wood systems
3) Apparatus / Emergency Wheel Chock
-
NFPA 1901, 1911, and OSHA 1910 compliant
-
Capable of retaining heavy apparatus (e.g. 86,000 lbs)
-
Reliable vehicle retention on multiple surfaces at 20% grade (11.3° slope)
-
Holds vehicles in place that are on fire (e.g. EV)
