The Fire Wedge is a multifunctional rescue tool that is used in fire rescue and emergency response situations (specifically extrication and ladder operations).

​

3 FUNCTIONS (high friction factor for all)

​

1)  Fire Ground Ladder Leveler (provides an anti-slip, stable, firm, level base for a variety of ladders on sloped or inclined ground surfaces).

• U.S.A.'s first NFPA 1931/1932, OSHA 1926, and ANSI A14 compliant ladder leveler

• Purpose built ladder leveler for the fire service (i.e. 750 load rating with a 4:1 safety factor)

• Safe, fast, and reliable ladder leveling on most surfaces or slopes with extreme ladder working angles

• Heel assist (kickout prevention)

• Fast and stable ladder leveling for bailouts, VES / VEIS and RIT

• allows a ground fire ladder to be safely used on a slope or uneven terrain.

• drastically reduces the risk of falling from a ground ladder.

• aids in preventing ladder kickout for rescue angles of inclination and bailout on all types of  surfaces. 

​​

2)  Vehicular Extrication Cribbing

• NFPA 1670 & 1006 compliant cribbing / chocks

• U.S.A.'s first Stackable Cribbing on slopes

• Grippy (high friction factor)

• Heavy capture

• Direct Flame / heat resistant

• Tough & durable

• Compatible with current wood systems

​​

3)  Apparatus / Emergency Wheel Chock

• NFPA 1901, 1911, and OSHA 1910 compliant

• Capable of retaining heavy apparatus (e.g. 86,000 lbs)

• Reliable vehicle retention on multiple surfaces at 20% grade (11.3° slope)

• Holds vehicles in place that are on fire (e.g. EV)

 

Fire Wedge Advantage

• GRIP, GRIP, GRIP! HIGH FRICTION FACTOR!

  • The entire surface of the fire wedge is anti-slip for almost all terrains and materials. 

• Outstanding resistance to cold, heat, ozone, steam, water, weather, hydraulic fluids, ketones, and alkalis.

• Excellent electrical insulator, crack-resistant, repels mold and mildew growth.

• Replaces 85% of wood cribbing on apparatus while gaining added field functions. 

• Makes ladder rescue operations during structure fires faster, safer, and more reliable.

• Speeds up rescue time.

• Increases reliability in saving lives and preventing injuries.

• Saves space on fire apparatus by serving as an "all-in-one" replacement for vehicle extrication cribbing and large tire chocks.

• Satisfies federal regulations for outfitting fire apparatus.

• The FireWedge™ is qualified for fire grants purchases via cribbing and wheel chocking.
