What the Fire Departments are saying:
"I want to take this opportunity to thank you
and your staff for retrofitting the Johnson Wax
Emergency Response Brigade bunker coats with the
Drag Rescue Device. We have always practiced
downed firefighter rescue drills using ropes,
webbing, or the gear itself. Anyone in the fire
service is painfully aware of how labor
intensive this can be. Having the DRD built in
ready to deploy is probably the most innovative
safety tool added to bunker gear to date. The
number one fireground priority is still life
safety. We can appreciate the fact that things
don’t always go as planned. You have given us an
added bonus with the DRD that we can use with
confidence should we need to move one of our
members out of harms way. I sincerely hope that
other departments take advantage of this
opportunity. The cost is nothing compared to the
return on the investment in time of need. "

Waxdale Fire Brigade Chief
"The Yocco harness is one of the greatest tools in the fire service. It is fast and easy to use. It is a tool (if given the chance, God Forbid) that will save lives!!! It makes moving a larger firefighter possible and with less manpower. There is no time wasted putting straps on the down firefighter or trying to get a good grip (on a scba). Every firefighter should have the Yocco harness.
After you let us try out your harness, I am a firm believer in the Yocco Harness!!!"
