    Help Your Fire Victims and Firefighters Escape from Burning Building

LEVR-BT Escape System is a specialized emergency egress system, primarily for firefighters, that allows for both a firefighter's personal escape and for lowering a victim before escaping themselves. The "BT" stands for Byrne Technique, a method that enables a rescuer to lower a victim to safety before descending themselves. It uses the LEVR descender to provide a rapid, safe, and controllable descent, and includes features like high-strength, heat-resistant webbing and a compact deployment bag for easy integration with turnout gear.
