The Thomas Life Capsule (TLC) is a rapid-deployment rescue capsule designed to safely package and remove fire victims from strucutre fires and other IDLH environements. It provides thermal protection, transit protection, and toxicitiy protection; all while allowing firefighters who use it to be more efficient.
The TLC was initially created to be used by Firefighters for fire victims. While its first market is the fire service, the Relentless Rescue team believes future models will expand to areas like industrial, maritime, mine, and eventually consumer residential space.
The TLC integrates mulitple layers of fire-resistant and thermal material and a revolutionary limited-clean-air supply for the victim in order to protect against extreme heat, smoke, and toxic gases during rescue.
The Relentless team is actively working on answering this question through strenuous training. We anticipate the capsule being able to be deployed, victim packaged, ready to move in less than a minute with a target goal being 30 seconds or less by a trained rescuer.
Unlike rescue tarps or drags, the TLC provides full-body encapsulation, integrated toxic atmosphere protection with a clean air supply for the victim; all while keeping the efficient and aggressive firefighters in mind by adding multiple ergonomic handles and straps to be used for movement -- even through narrow spaces.
Yes, the TLC is considered to be a one-size-fits-most product and has specific straps in place in order to secure victims of various sizes.
The TLC is currently in prototype and testing phase. The TLC # 001 has just finished being produced and will be used as the first training device. Limitied demonstration units will be available to fire departments soon; with full production expected after intense field testing.
The TLC is named after the Thomas brothers. It reflects the mission to save lives through innovative rescue technology.
