Self-rescue
32

The typical scenario is of a
firefighter trapped inside a
burning structure. S/he needs
to be able to ensure his/her
own rescue and thus must have
the appropriate equipment.

Technical specifics:
• in this situation, the firefighter
must be able to take advantage
of any available anchor point
inside the building, or as a last
resort, a window sill
• the exit generally takes place
in an extremely hot, smoke-
filled, and hostile environment,
adding to the limitations
• the maneuvers must be as
simple as possible, for quick
action even under intense
duress Window evacuation training by Salt Lake City Fire Department, Utah, USA. © Petzl / Dave Burleson

EXO AP HOOK
EXO AP HOOK is a personal escape system with anchor hook
adapted for locations where the possibility of finding an anchor point
is uncertain. It has a self-braking system with anti-panic function
for quickly moving horizontally, climbing through a window and
controlling and stopping a descent. If the user pulls too hard on
the handle, the anti-panic function brakes and stops the descent
automatically.
