In addition our Chiefs insist “we can’t even buy a carabineer unless it has an NFPA stamp on it in case we end up in court!” It seems to me, we are paying extra for nothing more than the NFPA stamp. Today’s burning question: Are there any cases where a fire department has been held liable because personnel used a piece of rope rescue hardware that was appropriate for the task, but did not meet NFPA 1983? The reason I ask is every tech rescue instructor I have ever had stressed that all our hardware must be NFPA 1983 compliant or we could be sued.
