Rugged Triage Tags Built for the Fireground: METTAG Now Available Nationwide

June 17, 2025
METTAG tags are made of waterproof, fire-resistant, and chemical-resistant synthetic paper that won’t fail in extreme conditions.

Fire departments, wildland teams, and emergency planners across the country are turning to METTAG triage tags—a tough, field-tested solution for mass casualty incidents, hazmat events, and disaster response.

Unlike traditional paper tags that can tear or dissolve under pressure, METTAG tags are made of waterproof, fire-resistant, and chemical-resistant synthetic paper that won’t fail in extreme conditions. Whether used on the fire line, at staging, or in post-incident medical triage, METTAG performs when seconds matter.

Each tag features:

  • Color-coded tear-off tabs for rapid triage
  • Ample space for critical patient data
  • Compatibility with gloves, rain, and direct writing from Sharpies or ballpoint pens

Used by municipal fire departments, USAR teams, CERT programs, and even the military, METTAG offers unmatched durability at a better price than fragile paper-based options. METTAG is available in multiple formats, including:

  • MT-137 – Global Standard multi-agency triage tag (just images, no language barrier)
  • MT-501 – SALT Method advanced tag with expanded medical detail fields
