Figure 8's

Figure 8 descenders are essential rope rescue tools for fire departments conducting high-angle rescue operations, building evacuations, and technical rope work. These friction devices from trusted brands like CMC and Petzl provide smooth, controlled descent during rappelling and lowering operations at structure fires, confined space incidents, and swift water rescues. Designed with heat-dissipating aluminum construction, figure 8s deliver reliable performance when firefighters need precision control during victim extrication or self-rescue scenarios. Pair with locking carabiners and static rescue rope to build a complete rope rescue system ready for your department's technical rescue team.
