Firefighter Self Rescue Climb with the CHAR

We train and train and train so we avoid bad situations but sometimes things just go wrong. Say you go through a floor; you're banged up but you're okay. It'll take the RIT team a couple minutes to get to you and we all know how precious time is. Using the CHAR you're able to self rescue yourself by hooking the floor joist and climbing out. If the RIT team has the CHAR they rapidly deploy it to you instead of using a different technique like the Nance Drill which would take longer to set up and execute.
