Fire Brigade · S-2-S PRO
CASEVAC in practice.
Heat-resistant.
2 persons.
The RescueBag is built for fire brigade operations where unconscious persons have to be evacuated fast. The heat-resistant material (300°C continuous) and the S-2-S slide system make it usable in conditions where conventional equipment falls short. Two firefighters operate it, no lifting required.
Built for the most demanding
operational environments.
300°C continuous
The temperature-resistant composite fabric withstands continuous exposure up to 300°C and brief peak loads up to 500°C. That means it stays usable on escape routes where smoke and heat push standard equipment past its limit.
Slide-to-Save
The S-2-S slide system lets the casualty slide into the bag without lifting. It works on flat floors, inclined surfaces and stairs, always with two responders. Designed for unconscious or non-ambulatory persons.
2 persons · 30 sec
Two persons — one at the head, one at the feet. From unrolling to evacuation in 30 seconds. No complex assembly.
On the breathing apparatus
With the accessories Roll-Fix Fire and Bag-Fix, the rolled S-2-S PRO hangs on the breathing apparatus. Rolled: Ø 26 cm, 5.8 kg. Reusable over many years and repairable.
Applications · 03
Five scenarios.
One system.
Evacuation via stairwells and corridors with smoke and heat on the escape route. The bag encloses the casualty completely during transport.
Rapid evacuation of an unconscious or non-ambulatory firefighter. Two responders, no lifting.
Low passages, shafts, plant rooms — the rolled profile (Ø 26 cm) fits through narrow openings where a stretcher cannot pass.
The S-2-S slide system works on stairs: vertical evacuation without a crane or special equipment. Controlled descent with two persons.
Refineries, process plants, industrial sites: heat-resistant and stored compactly in a vehicle compartment or as backpack load for longer deployments.

Frequently asked questions · 05
Can the RescueBag be used for CASEVAC of a fellow firefighter?
Yes. Two firefighters evacuate an unconscious or non-ambulatory colleague with the S-2-S PRO, without lifting. With the accessories Roll-Fix Fire and Bag-Fix, the rolled S-2-S PRO hangs on the breathing apparatus.
How quickly is the RescueBag ready for deployment?
In practice the bag is ready for evacuation in 30 seconds: unroll next to the casualty, activate the slide system, close the bag. Two persons are sufficient. No complex assembly.
Does the RescueBag work on stairs?
Yes. The S-2-S slide system works on flat floors, inclined surfaces and stairs. On stairs, two persons work together: one at the head, one at the feet, down the stairs in a controlled way.
How is the RescueBag stored on a fire appliance?
Rolled: Ø 26 cm, 5.8 kg. Compact enough for a locker compartment, the interior of a pump appliance or a backpack load on longer deployments. No special storage unit needed.
What is the service life and maintenance schedule for the RescueBag?
Annual inspection of material integrity, closure and fastenings. No consumable parts, so it is a one-time investment. After an actual deployment, the bag is checked for heat or wear damage before going back into service.
