I had instruction several years ago about using the SCBA harness to drag a FF out. The clipping of your SCBA waist strap is a great idea.

Looks like a good way to move a down FF. How will it work in a crawling or in a crouching position for the drag in a high heat condition

Erica, I like the SCBA harness technique, particularly using your waist strap as the rescue device. Nice work!
