The patented locking mechanism in our updated CSR2 Pulley is easy to release under load, creating much greater efficiency with the lowering and raising necessary to a confined space rescue. The machined aluminum swivels at both ends of the system eliminate any potential twisting of the lines. This system is also an excellent choice for …
(This article was originally run in Firehouse October 1, 2019) Russell McCullar clarifies whether 15:1 is still relevant and says that fire departments should select gear and load limits that meet their needs. All Photos by Russell McCullar Not long ago, I was explaining to one of my students that our training agency was undergoing …
With the new launch of Confined Space Rescue: Awareness, Operations and Technician, we felt it important to get some introduction going. Below is a little bio of Team Ronin. However, check out the recent series of four interviews with Mark Pfeifer, CEO and Co-Founder of Ronin Rescue. Ronin’s philosophy is “our client’s concerns are our …
Thank you Mark Pfeifer of Ronin Safety and Rescue… In this video, we are looking at the control side of an English Reeve. The video shows four control descent devices and our riggers putting them into use to both have tension, the tension line and to be operating the English Reeve system. Now starting from …

We reached out a year or so ago and started looking at confined space. There’s a lot of video on rope rescue, a lot of cool high line failure videos you can watch. There wasn’t a lot on confined space, we found. We decided, “How do we do a confined space video?” Well, everybody wants …

The following excerpt is Mark Pfeifer of Ronin Rescue during an interview with Lance Piatt of Rigging Lab Academy. “So we reached out a year or so ago and started looking at confined space. There’s a lot of video on rope rescue, a lot of cool highline failure videos you can watch. There wasn’t a …
Hi, I’m Richard Delaney from Rope Lab in the Blue Mountains of Australia, and I’m working today with the Rigging Lab Academy. Today we’re working at Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon. We are working with the same type skate blocks that we’ve been looking at in previous sessions, but this time we’re working in an …

So we reached out a year or so ago and started looking at confined space. There’s a lot of video on rope rescue, a lot of cool highline failure videos you can watch. There wasn’t a lot on confined space we found. We decided, you know, how do we do a confined space video? Well …

Let’s continue with our pulley discussion. We have here a confined space rig, what I like to call it. It’s unique in that we have a tripod, and anybody who’s been around these things know they’re susceptible to tipping over, so it’s important, if you’re going to do something like this, that you have equal forces …

So here we’ve got a skate block. These are very effective in confined space rescues. This allows us to utilize two lines on a high point through a change of direction directly down into the space, in this case, using the tension lines as the high point, bringing the patient up, having the knot hit …
