“I’ve always heard the saying ‘work smarter not harder’. That’s what I try to do with my rescue equipment. I use it so I have seen what needs to be done to make it better for everyone. Be proactive not reactive.” - John Ziebell, JPZ Products Owner
Rescue Auger
The Rescue Auger is just as it sounds - tough.
The auger stands out when on duty in rescue red. The Rescue Auger is to be used in grain bin/elevator rescue situations. If a person is trapped under grain, the Rescue Auger is used to auger out grain quicker than scooping to quickly free the trapped victim. The Rescue Auger should be used with a grain rescue tube. Once the tube is secure around the victim, the Rescue Auger can be placed in the tube and quickly expel the unwanted grain. The Rescue Auger is powered by any power drill. Weighing only 26 lbs, the Rescue Auger can expel grain at 1.5 bushels/minute. Easy to use with a variety of grain - corn, wheat, milo, soybeans - the Rescue Auger is a necessity for any, and every, rescue department. The Rescue Auger is patented - U.S. Pat. No 9139372.

Why the auger was invented: "Through my years of being in the fire service I have always looked at things to try to make our jobs easier and safer. In 2012 we trained in grain bin rescue with Professional Rescue Innovations (PRI) and I saw a need for a quicker way to remove the grain from around a victim. I developed, patented and produced the Rescue Auger." -John Ziebell, JPZ Products Owner.

RAT (Roller All Terrain)
Used in high and low angle rope rescue, Roller All Terrain (RAT) - patent pending - locks into six different positions. Made with an anodized aluminum frame with aluminum rollers with oil bronze bearings turning on 3/4" hardened steel bolts, it can close around objects as small as 3" to an 18" beam. The RAT helps protect your rope and make it safer as you raise/lower and pick off rescue. Made right here in the USA with High Strength components, this was built to last! Priced at $1522.38, it is hard to find a more durable product.
Why the RAT was invented: In 2014 a few of us from our department went to Winter Fire School (held by PRI) and took High Angle Rescue class with the same company that did our grain rescue class. During that class we used several different types of rope protection to go over the handrail of the tower for raise and lower operations. They asked if I could come up with a roller that would be more versatile and adaptable to different situations. |
