WIDE STAIRS DOWN - 2 RESCUERS

 

  • Victim is brought to the top of the stairs at the landing:

  1. Check to make sure that the victim SCBA straps are tight.

  2. If time and conditions permit tie a half hitch in the SCBA straps to keep them from coming loose.

  3. Roll the victim over onto his stomach.

  • Rescuers stand on ether side of the victim just in front of the victims’ shoulders.

  • Rescues reach down and grab the SCBA straps next to their legs.

  • On the ready/ready/go command:

  1. The rescuers lift the victim by SCBA straps.

  2. Keeping their legs in front of the victims’ shoulders the rescuers slide the victim down the stairs.

  3. The rescuers must lift the victim high enough to avoid hitting his face on the stairs as he is brought down.

  4. As the victim slides down the stairs the rescuers legs will act as a brake to prevent them from sliding too fast.
