RIT Rescue and Escape Systems, Inc. was founded by Omar Jordan, a full-time
Fire Fighter/Paramedic for a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. The escape device was
conceived as a result of an actual fire ground situation that nearly claimed the lives
of several fire fighters. While fighting a four-story apartment fire Omar and his fellow
fire fighters were nearly trapped when the fourth floor roof caved in without warning.
Luckily the stairway was clear enough for an escape route. If not, the only option was
to jump out a window. "There was no other way out."
FFRED (Fire Fighter Rescue Escape Device) was conceived that night. After several years
of research and development this system is finally on the market. FFRED utilizes technologies and
methods new to the fire and utility service. The entire device was designed and tested as a system
utilizing high temperature escape line and lightweight materials. It is important that all of the
components be used together as a UL certified escape system. Utilizing individual components
separately will not have the same effect and could prove to be dangerous.
The goal of this company is to provide reliable, affordable and easy-to-use rescue and escape
systems to fire fighters, utility, industrial and public safety personnel.
