Abstract: A fire safety harness for dragging a downed fireman to safety in a burning building is made of flat, strong, flexible webbing material and has a Y-shape. The Y-shaped harness has two short legs approximately three feet in length and a long leg approximately six feet in length. In a one-man rescue, the long leg is attached to the victim and the single rescuer's two arms are placed through the two short even legs, respectively. In a two-man rescue, one short leg of the harness is attached to the victim. Each of the two rescuers places one arm through the remaining one short and one long leg, respectively. The different lengths of the short and long legs enable the two rescuers to walk in staggered positions.
