Millers Launch Service, in a sin- gle-handed rescue, to pull a 295-lb. seafarer out of New York Harbor.

Similarly, the system was employed by an Ensco supply boat to retrieve a nearly full, 55-gallon drum from the Gulf of Mexico.

The U.S. Coast Guard has accepted Jason's Cradle as supple- mental rescue equipment that can be purchased for use on standard boats, or as a boarding ladder replacement for lifeboats and res- cue boats on U.S. registered ships, or as a possible alternative to the rescue boat requirement for T-

Boats, as determined by the USCG on a case-by-case basis.

Smoke Hoods Shield

Airways

According to Brookdale

International Systems, Inc., three out of four fire fatalities are caused by smoke inhalation. The compa- ny's new EVAC U8 smoke hoods are designed to provide safe multi-stage, air- chemical catalytic filter that removes carbon monoxide and other deadly gases present in fire.

A translucent hood, which is fitted over the head of personnel, report- edly resists temperatures up to 800 degrees F, protecting eyes, head and neck from transient flames. The canis- ter also features a powerful lumines- cent bottom to make it easy to locate in the dark or in unfa- miliar places during a crisis situation.
