Axel Maarschalk from Zumro ResQ and Bill Latta from ResQ Tek joined the exercise and summarized the following impression:


Monday, October 7 and Tuesday, October 8:
Two hundred men were divided into 10 groups of 20 people each.
The groups were then diverted to the different exercise enviroments,
Axel Maarschalk and Bill Latta where situated at the exercises
involving the NT ResQ Bags.







Wednesday, October 9 and Thursday, October 10:
Designed to represent a real-life mobilization in an emergency, the 24 hour operation began with a mobilization at 3 pm on Wednesday, October 9, 2002. After a 30 minute ride to the collapse site, the operation at the site in Bridgeport, CT began at 8 pm, with 8 teams running thru the various evolutions of the first two days of training.
The NT ResQ Bags were up to the task, giving the rescuers the
needed safety, stability, and lift capacity that would be needed
in a real-life tragedy.

NT ResQ Lifting Bags assist in recovering airplane Sandra Bullock during snowstorm!

What do the New Technology Rescue Bags and Sandra Bullock (known from the movies Speed I and II, the Net) have in common? Well, that much that the NT Lifting Bags saved assist in recovering her plane because her private jet was blocking the runway.
Fortunately, no one was injured.



The private plane of Sandra Bullock suddenly crashed just outside the runway near Wyoming while landing in a heavy snowstorm. The plane was blocking the runway, but couldn’t be removed. The Fire Department rushed into the crashscene and tried to lift the plane so the plane could be moved to another place. As there was only a very low insertion height the rescuers stabilized the plane with the Zumro New Technology Lifting Bags. These Lifting Bags are so flat; they just have to be slide underneath the plane to lift it up. After having achieved enough space the bags were left in place for stabilization while snow was removed to access sling points. The rescuers working on the airports have recovered many planes with this method of lifting only this time it became quite special when saving a celebrity’s plane!



Added is the lighting section on this site, Stem-lite is is a unique warning and floodlighting system which requires no space inside the vehicles due to its rolloscopic mast.
Q-lite has the ability to tilt and turn his floodlights whilst fully deployed on hights up to 26 ft.

The ResQ Stab Jacks are a perfect stabilizing system so that rescue jobs can be properly and safely carried out.
Two new sets are added to the Cribbing Blocks section.

The ResQ 241 'Super Blade' features the most powerful "bite" in the industry.
It cuts (up to 1.4 inch round steel), bends, pushes and displaces steel quickly and effectively.

The ResQ 410 is another new member in our New Technology series.
While his big brother "The Great White" bites his way through, is the 410 Heavy Duty Frontliner ideal for tasks that require cutting and spreading at the same time.
Please welcome our new bread of combination ResQ tools.
