Liteline 360 (Trade Mark) Product Evaluation Report
Abstract
Final report of the commercial technology technology exploitation evaluation of the LiteLine 360 TM portable light rope produced by Flexilite Inc. of Edison, New Jersey. The evaluation was conducted by the 325 CES, Fire Protection Division, Tyndall AFB, Florida and the 374 CES Fire Protection Division, Yokota Air Base, Japan between 8 Dec 1994 and 31 July 1995. This evaluation was part of a continuing program to explore commercial off the shelf technology for application to Air Force firefighting requirements. The LifeLine 360 TM is an illuminated length of flexible tubing (100, 200, and 300 foot lengths) that can assist firefighters during ingress to a structure or aircraft and egress of injured or trapped personnel/passengers. The item was highly visible, even in dense smoke environments, it helped free both hands for fire and rescue operations where a flashlight/lantern normally would occupy one hand. The item enhanced fire/rescue capabilities and has been recommended for addition to table of allowance 490, making it available to Air Force fire departments worldwide.
