CMC Survivor Escape and RIT Kits

CMC Survivor Escape and RIT Kits offer a variety of choices for bailout, building search and rapid intervention team (RIT) operations.

We know that everyone has a personal preference for the rope they carry: some use a smaller diameter line for search and hauling tools knowing it will also hold their weight for an emergency rappel; others prefer rope certified to the NFPA 1983 Escape Line standard.

Fire fighters who use their rope only for emergency rappel or escape kits can configure theirs for immediate deployment.

Escape and RIT Kit bags come in a variety of shapes and can be mounted on self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) belts, tool belts and ladder belts.

Choosing the right kit from the wide range of options available can be challenging. We suggest you start by selecting the primary components based on what is most important to you.

Choose a Descender

• CMC ProSeries Escape Artist          

The state of the art descender for emergency bailout. It supports your weight and  leaves both hands free to negotiate a window exit.

• CMC Survivor 8

Quick to rig, making it useful if the rope is used for tasks besides an emergency escape. The rope must be gripped throughout the escape exit and descent.

Choose a Rope

• ProSeries Escape Line

It is constructed of an aramid fibre sheath with a polyester core for high heat resistance. Combine ProSeries Escape Line with a pack or pocket made of Ara-Shield material.

• CMC Rescue Escape Line

A polyester sheath/nylon core rope. Combine CMC Rescue Escape Line with a Cordura nylon pack, pocket or stuff bag. Extensive testing in an oven and with live fires has demonstrated surprisingly good durability.

Choose a Container for the Rope

• Escape Pack

The Escape Pack mounts horizontally on a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), tool or escape belt, with the opening to the front. This provides a low profile and
tends not to bump against the side during moving. Multiple mounting rings allow the
pack to be suspended from a SCBA. A drawstring narrows the opening so that even if the flap snags on an object and is pulled open, the rope will not fall out. Available in
Ara-Shield material or Cordura nylon.

• Escape Pocket

The Escape Pocket mounts vertically on a SCBA, tool or escape belt and has a top opening. A mounting ring on the top can be used to suspend the pocket from the SCBA.
The Escape Pocket may be a good choice for a multiple-task rope since its vertical orientation makes it easier to re-stuff while being worn. Available in Ara-Shield material or Cordura nylon.
