A CMC Exclusive
Rick Cearley, a retired senior helicopter pilot for the Los Angeles County Fire Department and inventor of the LSP Cinch Rescue Collar, saw the need for a product to rapidly
secure a victim under difficult conditions, such as swiftwater
rescues. Despite its simple appearance, this Cearley original design has features developed through years of field use by Los Angeles-area firefighters and rescuers.
Why You Need a Rescue Strap
All firefighters should consider carrying a Cearley Rescue
Strap in their turnout because of its many applications to
quickly secure a downed firefighter who must be dragged,
lifted, or lowered. It can also be used as a hasty chest harness
to pluck victims from above-ground windows or during
swiftwater operations, or even as an emergency harness for
self-rescue from upper floors. It has proven itself with our
department when lives depend on quick and simple securing
of victims for evacuation.
