ROANOKE RADIO RETENTION TOOL

Comments: 0

I received an email yesterday about this new “Roanoke Radio Retention Tool”. I was out of town at the time so I am getting it posted now. Apparently I missed a new “Roanoke” specific tool that we designed on our own. The need for the new tool arised after Battalion Chief Beckner misplaced his radio. Now that we have the retention tool, this incident will be a thing of the past.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

· Attach end “A” to radio you wish to retain.

· Attach end “B” to forgetful Battalion Chief.

· For added retention, place seat belt attachment around waist and attach buckles until you hear an audible “Click”

· Remind said Battalion Chief that proper use of this tool will reduce the odds of loosing his radio.

· Special Note: Per memo 3-14 dated 11/02/06 this device and attached radio must be worn under your turnout coat when entering into any Structural firefighting operation, to prevent damage to radio, or radio retention tool.

Of course, this is all in fun. Apparently the device was built with 3 back-ups so that the radio would not be left anywhere.
