Claim:
A rescue device for rescuing a child from a life threatening situation, said device comprising: a container for the reception therein of the child; and a cover cooperating with said container such that when the child has been placed within said container, said container and said cover cooperate with each other to define a safe enclosure for the evacuation of the child from the life threatening situation, the container fabricated of a material that is fire resistant and impact resistant so that the child within the device is insulated from hot atmospheric conditions outside the device; the container including: a base having an inner and an outer surface, a first and a second end and a first and a second side, said ends and said sides of said base defining a peripheral edge; and a wall having an inner face and an outer face and a first and a second side, said first side of said wall having a first length which is equal to a second length of said peripheral edge of said base, said first side of said wall and said peripheral edge being joined together such that said wall extends away from said base with said second side of said wall being spaced from said base; the container defining a compartment, with an alarm system housed within said compartment; said alann system including: a battery; and an audio alarm emmitter operably connected to said battery such that during the evacuation of the child, said audio alarm emmitter provides an audible indication of said rescue device location; and an electrical insulator disposed between said battery and said alarm system such that when said device is dormant, electrical charge is stored within said battery and when said closure cooperates with said container, said insulator is moved from between said battery and said alarm system so that said battery is electrically connected to said alarm system thereby maintaining the electrical charge until needed during the evacuation of the child from the life threatening situation.
