Thanks to new firefighting innovations, the industry at large is benefiting from the implementation of cutting-edge helicopter hoist solutions. The newly developed helicopter hoist has already enjoyed an extensive variety of use, and can notably cut down on operations time, at the same time capitalizing on increased security measures.

Notably, news has increased firefighter coverage, given the frequency of controlled and uncontrolled burns across wide portions of the continental United States. States like Nevada and California prove especially susceptible to changing exterior conditions. Thanks to the installation of a new helicopter hoist into regular procedures, firefighters can accomplish an unrivaled output, without an undue safety compromise.

Given Nevada’s diversified topography, a state home to often hilly terrain, the hoist system proves more important now than ever before. The hoist mechanisms are for specific use statewide, especially in regions characterized by uneven landscapes, or areas otherwise inaccessible by ground transportation methods because of obstacles or naturally-growing anomalies. To extract injured firefighters, sometimes multiple firefighters from the same confined region, the hoist system will depend on tried-and-tested removal methods, compounded by seasoned pilots.

The hoist system itself is monochromatically black and businesslike in appearance, thickened by various independent winch mechanisms which quite obviously give the device the capacity to hoist personnel and items of increased size and weight. In its most recent figures, the Insurance Information Institute disclosed the fact that Nevada experienced the second-most acres burned as a direct result of wildlifes, at a staggering 1,329,289 acres, out of any U.S. state.

For specific application in cases where firefighters become injured, the rescue helicopter hoist system can bring impaired firefighters into the safety of a helicopter, in a fraction of the normal time. Now, firefighters with injuries can receive medical assistance in a helicopter, without the aircraft needing to land in order for rescue operations to take place.

This hoist system is also used in civilian enterprises, to expedite various search and rescue operations in cases where injured or impaired residents, as well as those individuals who find themselves in compromised positions after inclement natural conditions, can be lifted safely into the air and away from danger.

Furthermore, the hoist can work with equal reverse efficiency. Firefighters and other rescue workers can also be lowered out of the side of optimized helicopters, at the same speeds as typical hoisting ventures. In an official statement, the Nevada Division of Forestry cited the common use of helicopters for advanced search and rescue operations.

“The hoist will be a critical tool that allows EMTs to quickly access, stabilize, secure, and extract injured firefighters and members of the general public from these remote areas,” the NDF stated in the release. The state of Nevada itself is responsible for the financial purchase of the individualized hoist systems, although implementation is expected specifically by the NDF, and applicable security and rescue helicopter operations. The financial obligation was supplemented by the availability of a grant from the federal U.S. Forest Service.

Utilized helicopters will hover for extended periods of time, can reach speeds that exceed 100 miles per hour and will transport professional personnel with ease. Fitted with advanced hoisting capacities, helicopters employed specifically for rescue procedures are now more effective than ever before.

As Nevada’s first-ever female state forester, Kacey KC emphasized the importance in collaboration between the Nevada Division of Forestry and now-optimized helicopters and their hoisting mechanisms. “NDF, working with cooperators, is very excited to roll this new equipment out for the safety and well-being of firefighters in Nevada” she said in a publicized statement. “This equipment is critical in supporting our mission of protecting life and property in our great state” she continued, touching upon the state’s obligation to deploy the hoist system for applications wide than fires themselves.

The state of Nevada, as part of the grant itself and the now-completed transaction, has received more than simply the hoist system for immediate and lasting implementation. Rather, the NDF also received various harness and lift baskets, more equipment that has already been enhanced for deliberate use in conjunction with the new hoist systems.
