The Federal Rescue [portable Edition]: A Story of Family, Justice, and Survival

Developed under the rapid-technology application program of the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, CIRT can quickly penetrate concrete walls and barriers, facilitating personnel rescue after disasters. It is a two-person portable tool, actuated by standard powder cartridges, and is capable of breaching a targeted reinforced concrete wall up to four times faster than with traditional methods. Additionally, the force generated by CIRT is concentrated in a localized area on the concrete barrier, minimizing collateral damage and potential destabilization of the surrounding structure.

Hazardous materials can be found on our railways, roadways, in our industrial and commercial occupancies as well as in our households. The federal government mandates how each type of hazardous material is to be managed if they are released. Collapsed building rescue can be necessary in a structure after an explosion, fire, structural failure, earthquake or tornado. Collapsed trench rescue can be necessary during construction activities.
