Born from the legacy of “Black Sunday” and inspired by the resilience of the FDNY, the Phoenix Escape System stands as a symbol of survival and innovation. On January 23, 2005, six firefighters were forced to jump from a fifth-story window in the Bronx—an incident that forever changed how we think about personal escape systems.

Built by firefighters, for firefighters, the Phoenix System is engineered for performance when it matters most. It combines the lightweight strength of Sterling’s 6mm XTec Technora™ rope, the RPI 1/23 Hook, the Phoenix Descender, and the Tephra Carabiner—all designed for rapid deployment, intuitive control, and low-profile carry.

Heroism doesn’t end when the flames die down — and RPI is proud to recognize one of our own for embodying what it means to be a firefighter.

RPI Bailout Instructor and Production Technician John Jonas was recently honored as one of six Firefighters of the Year in Orange County, NY for his courageous actions during a 2024 fire in Goshen, NY, where he responded to multiple MAYDAYs and assisted in the rescue and support of his fellow firefighters.

John’s bravery, training, and composure under pressure represent the very best of the fire service — and the core values we stand by at RPI.

Congratulations, John. Your dedication and courage make a difference every single day.
