Abstract: The invention relates to a device for transporting and rescuing people from danger areas, said device including a heat-resistant film or canvas. The bag-like device (1) is formed by a central section (2) and overlapping lateral folding panels (3, 4) arranged on both sides of the central section (2). A foot pocket (5) is formed by the longitudinal end region of the central section (2) of the bag. The outer edges (6) of the central section (2) of the bag are provided with bands (7) that can be connected to each other when the lateral folding panels (3, 4) are overlapping in the closed state, by means of quick acting fasteners (8), thereby securing the person to be transported. The outer side of the foot pocket (5) and the outer side of the central section (2) of the bag are coated with a fireproof, friction-resistant and tear-proof fabric (10). Carrying straps (9) are arranged at the outer edges (6) of the central section (2) of the bag in order to transport a person in the rescue bag (1).
