A fire rescue mat has an outer skin and a plurality of support members. The outer skin is produced from a flexible material and forms a plurality of pockets arranged in columns and rows. The support members located within the pockets. Linear fold lines separate each pocket from an adjacent pocket. The fire rescue mat can be folded along the fold lines to reduce an overall size of the fire rescue mat apparatus.

This invention presents a brake control device for high-rise fire rescue systems, notable for its well-thought-out design, high safety standards, and consistent, dependable functionality. The system features two main elements: cable take-up device A on base frame A, and cable take-up device B on base frame B. A connecting device ensures the A transfer spindle of device A and the B transfer spindle of device B rotate in unison. Central to the system is the emergency braking device, comprising a reduction gearbox located under either the A or B cable take-up device. This gearbox is equipped with an input shaft and an output shaft, linked by a gear transmission set. The input shaft connects to the A or B cable take-up device via a transmission member. A magnetic block is affixed to the output shaft's end, and a permanent magnetic crane is positioned at the magnetic block's end.

A portable personal emergency escape device, having a protective sack, a cable and a securing member. The protective sack is made of fire resistant or fire proof material and is sufficient in size to hold and enclose an individual therein. A first end of the cable is attached to the protective sack. The securing member is configured to be secured to an inside of a building structure and is attached to a second end of the cable. The cable has sufficient length to allow the protective sack to extend from the securing member to an outside of the building structure. The protective sack hangs below an opening in the building structure when deployed to provide the individual a temporary escape while awaiting rescue from the dangerous condition.

A victim retrieval apparatus for use with a vehicle. In some embodiments, the rescue basket comprises one or more wheels. The articulating head of the boom comprises a rotatable pulley for receiving the rescue line and is able to allow the vehicle to be parked in any position necessary while rescuing the victim. A knot-passing pulley enables a safety line (with emergency brake device) to be coupled to the basket thereby ensuring the safety of the victim in the basket at all times. The rescue basket comprises a remote control for controlling the winch speed that is able to be located at the winch itself, or be of a hand-held nature and attached at the rescue basket instead of at the vehicle if visual contact is problematic.

The invention relates to a building access system (100) adapted to be arranged externally of a building comprising a number of storeys, comprising an elevator module (2) with an elevator shaft (2A) for an elevator and a mounting arrangement (3) for mounting to a wall (4) of the building. The access system further comprises at least one balcony module (1,1) comprising one or more balconies (1A,1A,1A,1B,1B,1B), each said balcony comprising a balcony door (16) for providing access to the elevator in a side wall (13). The balcony module (1,1) or modules comprises/comprise one or more separate modules adapted for connection to the building in association with the elevator module (2), or the elevator module and one or more balcony modules comprise an integrated elevator and balcony module. The mounting arrangement (3) is adapted for interconnecting the balcony and elevator modules with the wall (4) of the building.
