The Emergency Responder Shelter was designed for use by First Responders in the field. From an incident command post to triage center to rehab area, these are just some of the possible uses while on scene. Add to that the many options for use at a community event, during training or as an aid station and the shelter will be an extremely useful addition to your station house/crew.

Why an INFLATABLE shelter?
EASY SET UP
By using air for support, set up time is rapid and there is no need for cumbersome poles or damaging ground stakes. Five minutes is all it takes for an experienced person to set up a shelter.
PORTABLE
Shelter packs up into either a heavy duty canvas bag or hard-side container. Everything except the blower in one spot.

Set Up / Take Down – ERS
Make sure there is enough room for your FAST Shelter inflatable tent before you take it from your work van or pickup truck. Walk off about 30 feet in one direction and 15 feet in the other. And if it is a windy location, be sure to leave room to park a vehicle on the attached pads for better stability.
Call or email us with any questions.
FAST Shelter comes in a heavy duty viny bag with tie up straps. Undo the straps, flip the bag on its side and roll out the shelter. Any flat surface will do.
Locate the two end doors and drag the shelter to face the way you want. Spread the shelter out flat so that the bottom black tubes are pulled tightly opposite each other. It is a little easier to do with two people, but one can handle it.
Place the blower by the blower tube and attach the tube.
Plug in the electric cord and turn on the blower. FAST Shelter will begin to inflate.
With the model ERS1014 the blower is internal and all that is necessary is to plug in the cord.
Once inflated the shelter will need to be secured. Check out Anchoring Your Shelter for the best ways to secure your shelter.
