ABSTRACT:
A guidance device including a body having multiple reflective fields, and a mounting member for secure mounting to a surface. The body's reflective surfaces may be oriented to reflect approaching light from the top, bottom, left, and right, thereby enhancing its visibility regardless of an approach mode of rescue personnel, and regardless of an orientation in which the guidance device is mounted. The guidance device may include an element capable of absorbing heat to enhance the guidance device's detection by a thermal imaging camera, or be configured to cause emission of light from responsive to detection of light (e.g. from a firefighter's flashlight). One or more guidance devices may be sold as part of a kit that includes an identification marker mountable adjacent an entry door of a building, and instructions for coordinating mounting positions of the identification marker and the guidance device relative to their respective doors.
