“The Jast” Clip is a device designed to make the water can or any portable fire extinguisher easier to carry, crawl with, store and deploy. When utilizing this device, the profile of the firefighter is not affected as with traditional methods of carrying a portable fire extinguisher and this method also makes carrying a portable extinguisher a hands-free task, making the firefighter a more versatile asset, especially in today’s environment of personnel shortages and budget cuts.
The device is attached to a portable fire extinguisher by a patent-pending buckle tongue and webbing and a buckle with clasp is attached to the firefighter at the point of their choice. The best suggested place is to the SCBA pack strap on the opposite side of the air line and to the utility clip and not the strap release. When utilizing the clip, the extinguisher can be stored in more easily accessible areas such as on a running board or bumper in a tube.
Firefighters do not expanding their profiles because the extinguisher hangs vertically in line with their bodies and, when crawling, the can drags hands free, compared to the conventional pushing or pulling of the extinguisher.
This, also, keeps the can in a recognizable position so when it needs to be utilized in a zero visibility environment, the controls and discharge hose is easily accessible.
