Personal Locator Device with Fall Detection for Firefighters/ Damage Control Teams on-board ships

Damage Control Patrols and fire fighting are high risk duties onboard ships in which the fire fighter or patrol man can become incapacitated and is unable to safely leave an immediately dangerous to life and health environment. During firefighting operations a firefighter may get disoriented and get left behind in the ensuing mayhem in compartments filled with smoke and other dimly lit conditions. Similarly Damage Control Patrols operate in silent hours and are the detectors/first responders to a fire or flooding emergency. While operating alone in high sea states and visiting high risk compartment places, these personnel are at risk of being incapacitated by injury resulting in inability to raise an alarm or seek help.
