The Billy Pugh™ Helicopter Rescue Net has been proven effective by airborne Search & Rescue crews around the world with hundreds of lives saved. Originally named Building Fire Nets (BFN), these nets are designed for multiple occupant helicopter rescue. Twelve feet high when fully open, BFN nets collapse for compact transport to evacuation site. The BFN net is the most widely used multiple occupant helicopter rescue device in the world.
