ABSTRACT:
A safety beacon acting as a portable and self contained strobe light is provided for use in fire fighting and rescue operations. The purpose of the safety beacon is to enhance security and minimize the disorientation caused by darkness, smoke, or fog in a fire fighting, rescue, or underwater operation. The safety beacon is composed of a heat, chemical, water, and impact resistant casing which is joined to a lexan covered xenon strobe light. The safety beacon is activated by an insulated switch which draws power from a nine volt battery kept within an insulated housing. The safety beacon may be instantly attached to a ferrous surface by means of a magnet, suspended on a garment or other cloth substance by means of a velcro pad, and pierced into and fixed on to drywall by means of a spike attachment. A knurled wedge design allows the safety beacon to hold doors open for firefighters or to be inserted into the ground to mark position for an aerial landing.
