Rescue 42
For over 27 years, Rescue 42, Inc. has continued to distinguish themselves as an industry-leading manufacturer of fire and rescue equipment. Beyond creating innovative products, the people of Rescue 42 have a deep commitment to quality and customer service and enormous pride that all of our stabilization products are made right here in the United States. In 2019, the company introduced the much anticipated release of The Ripper™: Laminated Glass Cutter. This innovative product was designed by Rescue 42 CEO and team of Engineers as a response to the passing of FMVSS 226, which has prompted vehicle manufacturers to install laminated side windows in most newly manufactured vehicles. The Ripper™ can cut laminated glass to remove a vehicle's side window in less than ten seconds! This allows for a safe and fast rescue of trapped occupants. Additionally, increasing demand for safer, more compact rescue equipment like the TeleCrib® Stabilization System and Shark™ Collapsible Cribbing has led to enormous growth over the last few years prompting Rescue 42's recent move into a much larger facility. Our PodRunner® Deployable Division, which includes the CRD™ and miniCRD™ for FirstNet®, SatRunner™, and CommandRunner™, is rapidly expanding, with public safety customers around the country. The deployable communication systems allow a single-person to rapidly deploy a Wi-Fi and Cellular hotspot, anywhere, anytime. The units are transported on a 2" hitch receiver and can be pulled through doorways and elevators. A simple, intuitive system allows anyone to deploy their own Cell-on-Wheels, no matter how remote of an incident. Join our growing team of professionals!
