Born to Save Lives.
DEUS Rescue began as an idea – recognition of the need for new bailout and rescue technology to help firefighters escape danger quickly, easily and safely.
To understand and best meet this need, DEUS worked with professional firefighters from New York’s FDNY Rescue 1. These professionals provided clear direction that guided the development of DEUS controlled descent devices. Rather than adapt an already available device, the DEUS development team sought to design a whole new breed of personal rescue technology unlike anything on the market.
Moving beyond the fire service, DEUS engineers invited experts from various fields to participate in the continuing design process, in order to assure that their solutions would work optimally for many environments. Firefighters, wind tower training professionals, law enforcement officers, and military personnel all contributed to advanced understanding of each market where DEUS Rescue solutions would be used.

Because strong, versatile and redundant braking systems would be absolutely key to success for their new devices, DEUS partnered with a German manufacturer with more than 80 years of experience making brakes for critical equipment like gondolas and ski lifts. DEUS worked with rope suppliers from around the world to create a whole new generation of light, flexible and strong technical ropes.
DEUS sourced the best in accessories and other gear – anchor chokers, harnesses, rope edge protectors and more – to work in conjunction with the controlled descent devices, often modifying existing products or creating entirely new designs to better meet the need. The combination of new and best-available pieces allows DEUS to offer complete kits that meet the needs of professionals in every industry.
Today, DEUS Rescue provides complete solutions, from individual products to training and technical support. We will work with you to meet your specific needs, whatever they may be, wherever you are.
