The product that started it all! The Firesled was the first piece of Firefighter functional fitness and training equipment that Rick and Dave created specifically for The Fire Service and it’s Occupational athletes because no one else manufactured commercial fitness equipment for Firefighters. The Firesled allows the user to realistically simulate a multitude of common fire-ground tasks without taking life-saving equipment off of their front run apparatus which could increase response time. The Firesled cannot be categorized as just” fitness” equipment or just “training” equipment, it effectively combines both. It is unique in the numerous functions that can be performed with just this one piece of equipment. If Firefighters are going to perform safely and efficiently on fire and EMS scenes, then it is imperative that they replicate the same movements they are expected to be proficient at. Like all our products, the Firesled is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA and was awarded patent # US20070020594A1
