K.I.S.S. it. We don't make things harder than they already are.

Here is our Search rope.

The Officer of the Truck has one and so does the Outside Vent Man. There is also one that is always in the Bucket. They are only taken when needed. Not normally assigned as a tool.

It is 200 ft. of 5/16ths braided Nylon rope.

The Truck Cos. typically only use the ropes in Commercial Hi-Rises, Cellars, Basements or Warehouses or they take it when operating as the FAST Truck. There is No FAST team rope...it is the same thing...no reason to use anything different.
