Figure 8's

Figure 8 descenders are essential rope rescue tools that give firefighters precise control during rappelling and lowering operations at structural fires, technical rescues, and confined space incidents. Trusted brands like CMC and Petzl engineer these descenders with heat-dissipating aluminum alloy construction to handle the friction and forces encountered in high-angle rescue scenarios. Used with carabiners and dynamic rescue rope, Figure 8s provide the smooth, controllable descent that fire rescue teams depend on when lives are on the line. Whether equipping your department's technical rescue cache or maintaining rope rescue readiness at the station, these proven descenders deliver the strength and reliability your crew needs in critical situations.
