14 PneHo 58

Firefighters or rescuers may have undergone commando training and are equipped with foolproof protection, but working under extreme conditions, at times, pose some serious challenges. In such cases, the rescuers themselves often fall victim to the situation. Taking a cue from the popular children’s fairy tale, ‘White Pebbles’, Hansel and Gretel’s Life Pebbles, is essentially a safety tool that can prove handy for firefighters in their rescue operations. Life-pebbles are finished with lots of small fluorescent stones that glows bright even in dense smoke, leading the way out for the firefighters as well as victims caught in a fire situation.

Design Status:

Life Pebbles is a prize winning entry for the Seoul Design Competition.

Usability:

Hansel and Gretel’s Life Pebbles is an innovative idea that leads the firefighters to a safe exit. The leading rescuer drops the pebbles to guide other firefighters and the victims caught in the smoke and fire. Rescuing with Life Pebbles is not a child’s play, but it surely will make the job of rescuing, a bit easy and organized.
