RPRD enables feet first extrication of downed fire fighter and eliminates the need to undo or loosen any SCBA straps
The RPRD represents the latest advancement in fire fighter bunker suit technology and engineering. Designed and invented by a Toronto fire fighter and developed in conjunction with Starfield-Lion and Lion Apparel, it has two primary functions. The first is the extrication of a downed fire fighter in a feet first direction. The second is the shortening of the packaging protocol, by eliminating the need to undo any SCBA straps.
