So McCue set about the task and six months later he had designed an invention that fits between the hose and the nozzle. The four most comfortable positionsare at the shoulder, stomach, hip and thigh. All positions allow for onehanded operation. EZ PUP allows the firefighter to free up one hand to help himself or a buddy, to hold a flashlight or other equipment while still controlling the line easily. This gives firefighters the safety edge while searching through a building, and increased confidence while walking or climbing.
Easier line handling keeps firefighters alert and reduces fatigue- related accidents.
Strains and sprains are the most common firefighter injuries. You'll find EZ PUP reduces arm, wrist, back and hand problems related to line handling. With the EZ PUP grab and go handle it makes pulling hose a breeze and can save time too. High visibility, photo-luminescent stripes make the EZ PUP stand out in the dark.
