TEDCOR LLC - Target Exit Device - Rapid Intervention

TED™ & Rapid Intervention

Many experts, Chiefs who have seen every phase of fire fighting, have evaluated TED™ and this is what they say:

District Chief/Health & Safety Mike McNamee, the IC at the Worcester tragedy said: “ I agree, if TED works the way you say and had been at the fire there might have been no deaths. - If you can solve the LODD problem for physically well firefighters - getting them out alive - that's more than half the LODD problem solved right there!"

Chief McNamee was responding to a quote from Rich Duffy, Executive Assistant to the President, IAFF, who said in a Washington Conference between TEDCOR, IAFF, Department of Labor, NFPA and OSHA: "If TED™ had been available at Worcester there would have been NO fatalities and you can quote IAFF on that!"

Deputy Chief Robert Cobb, Jersey City, NJ – the nationally recognized leader in RIT operations, techniques and lecturer on protocols for “Getting out alive!” has personally appraised TED™:

•“The Target Exit Device™ is going to give you that little edge you need to get in and get that guy out! RIT comes into play under the worst possible fire conditions including high heat and zero visibility. Every second counts – a life hangs in the balance.

•The Target Exit Device™ helps searchers on a Rapid Intervention Team maintain their sense of direction throughout the search, and helps prevent the disorientation and confusion that can arise in these high stress situations.

•“When a fallen firefighter is found, TED™ makes it possible to proceed directly to a safe exit, rather than spending vital minutes in retracing the search path. TED™ can help prevent the rescuer from becoming another victim.”

Deputy Chief Vincent Dunn, FDNY: "TED™ is the missing link in firefighter safety. Disorientation in smoke kills firefighters... firefighters who are listed as killed by flashover or backdraft were first disoriented by smoke, became lost, unable to locate an exit and were later killed by fire.”

LODD caused by smoke, disorientation and low air is now preventable.
TED™ gets you out fast!

PREVENTION - TIME - CONFIDENCE

When you’ve done your job inside - Getting out is priority one.

TED™ helps prevent getting lost inside a structure – you always know where your EXIT is.

Time is now on your side. TED™ gets you out many times faster than other traditional methods. Because Time is working for you, you can take more time to search and take more time to safely overcome obstacles and avoid traps on your way out!

TED™ emphasizes the prevention of injury and death by allowing firefighters to stay focused while they work in dense smoke.

TED™ increases confidence. That fact alone makes every firefighter more effective at his job.
