The Ultimate "One-Bag" Solution for RIT Deployment The Evac Systems RIT Rapid Intervention Team Bag (Model EP043) is the heavy-duty hauler designed to bring the entire rescue cache to the downed firefighter in a single trip. Unlike smaller bottle bags that only carry air, this expansive system serves as a portable tool station. It is engineered to carry the SCBA cylinder, pneumatics, search rope, and the "Irons" (Halligan & Axe) all within one protected, drag-capable shell.

Key Features

  • Massive Payload Capacity: The main compartment is sized to accommodate a full SCBA pack with a 60-minute cylinder, plus 200 feet of RIT search line and a set of irons (Halligan and Axe), keeping all life-saving tools together.
  • Specialized Pocketing:
    • Front Pocket: Deep enough to hold 4 Tagline Kits for multi-point searching.
    • End Pockets: Two dedicated pockets for storing door wedges, wire cutters, and non-sparking wrenches.
  • Skid-Plate Durability: Built from 1,000 Denier Cordura® Nylon with a reinforced vinyl bottom. This "skid plate" allows the heavy bag to be dragged over concrete, debris, and glass without wearing through the fabric.
  • Ergonomic Transport: Even with a 60lb load, the padded shoulder strap and reinforced grab handles make it manageable for a two-person carry or single-person drag.

Why It Matters When a Mayday is called, you don't have time to make two trips. The Evac RIT Bag consolidates your air supply, your navigation (rope), and your extrication (irons) into one package. It ensures that when the RIT team arrives at the victim, they have every tool needed to cut them free, package them, and drag them out.

How to Use

  1. Pack: Secure the SCBA cylinder and mask in the main bay. Lay the Halligan and Axe alongside or in the designated slots.
  2. Stow: Load the front pocket with taglines and the side pockets with door wedges.
  3. Deploy: Carry to the staging area via the shoulder strap.
  4. Drag: Once inside the structure, use the handles to drag the bag along the floor; the vinyl bottom protects the gear.

Technical Overview Available in two sizes to match department needs. The Small (25" length) is ideal for "bottle-only" or light setups, while the Large (32" length) is the standard for full tool-and-air caches.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the EVAC Systems RIT bag different from standard firefighter gear bags?▸

The EVAC Systems RIT Rapid Intervention Team Bag is purpose-built for rapid intervention scenarios with specialized compartments that standard gear bags lack. The front pocket is specifically sized to hold 4 tagline kits, while the main compartment accommodates a full SCBA with 60-minute cylinder plus 200 feet of RIT line, a Hallagan tool, and an axe simultaneously. Made from 1000 Cordura Nylon with a built-in vinyl bottom and weather-resistant construction, this USA-made bag is engineered for the unique demands of RIT operations where quick access to life-saving equipment is critical.

Will the large EVAC Systems RIT bag fit in a standard fire apparatus compartment?▸

The large EVAC Systems RIT bag measures 32" x 14" x 12.5", making it compatible with most modern fire apparatus compartments and rescue vehicle storage areas. The small version (25" x 8" x 10.5") is ideal for tighter spaces or personal vehicle storage. Both sizes feature a padded shoulder strap and reinforced handles for easy transport from apparatus to scene. The bag's ergonomic design ensures it won't shift during transport while remaining accessible when seconds count.

Can I store both rope and tools in the EVAC Systems RIT bag without damaging either?▸

Absolutely. The EVAC Systems RIT bag features multiple separated compartments designed to protect both rope and tools. The main compartment can hold 200 feet of RIT line alongside a Hallagan tool and axe without tangling or damage, while the two end pockets are perfect for door wedges and wrenches. The 1000 Cordura Nylon construction with vinyl bottom prevents moisture and debris from contaminating your rope, and the organized storage system keeps sharp tools isolated from soft goods.

Why is the EVAC Systems RIT bag made with 1000 Cordura Nylon instead of lighter materials?▸

1000 Cordura Nylon is the gold standard for firefighter gear because it offers superior abrasion resistance, tear strength, and weather protection essential for RIT operations. This material withstands the extreme conditions of structural firefighting—dragging across rough surfaces, exposure to heat and moisture, and repeated heavy loading with SCBA cylinders and tools. The weather-resistant construction ensures your critical RIT equipment stays dry and ready, while the USA-made quality guarantees consistent durability that lighter materials simply can't match in life-safety applications.

How much weight can the EVAC Systems RIT bag carry with the padded shoulder strap?▸

The EVAC Systems RIT bag is designed to carry a full RIT loadout—an SCBA with 60-minute cylinder (approximately 25-30 lbs), 200 feet of RIT line (8-10 lbs), a Hallagan tool (8-10 lbs), an axe (5-7 lbs), plus tagline kits and hand tools—totaling 50-60+ pounds. The padded shoulder strap and reinforced handles distribute this weight ergonomically for comfortable transport even during extended operations. The adjustable straps allow you to customize the fit for different body types and carrying preferences, whether you're moving quickly to a staging area or repositioning during an incident.
