ARM-LOC Water Rescue Device
When They Can’t Hold On—You Still Make the Save.
In water rescue, you don’t always get a cooperative victim. Cold shock, panic, injury, or exhaustion can make it impossible for someone to grab and hold a rope. That’s where the ARM-LOC changes the outcome.
Designed to act as an “extra arm” in the water, the ARM-LOC securely attaches to the victim—eliminating the need for grip strength and giving rescuers control in seconds.
Secure the Victim—Fast
The ARM-LOC is built for speed and simplicity in high-stress environments:
- Slides directly onto the victim’s forearm
- Pull the high-visibility yellow lanyard to deploy and lock in place
- Creates a secure connection without relying on the victim to hold on
No complicated setup. No second chances needed.
Built for Real Water Rescue Scenarios
From fast-moving water to freezing conditions, the ARM-LOC is ready when conditions are working against you:
- Flood and swift water rescue
- Ice rescue operations
- Hurricane and disaster response
- Boating and snowmobile incidents
- Any situation where victim compliance is limited or impossible
It also provides added flotation support when the victim pulls the device toward their chest—helping keep them above water until extraction.
Rapid Deployment. Repeatable Use.
This is gear designed for real-world operations—not one-time use:
- Deploys in seconds
- Can be reset and redeployed quickly
- Compact enough to integrate into existing water rescue kits
When multiple victims are involved, speed and reusability matter.
Beyond Water Rescue
The ARM-LOC isn’t limited to water incidents. When treated with fire-resistant spray, testing has shown it can withstand direct flame exposure without igniting—opening the door for Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) applications.
For firefighter rescue scenarios, this provides another option for securing and removing downed or trapped personnel when traditional methods fall short.

Everything you need to deploy right out of the bag.
Why TheFireStore Recommends It
The reality is simple—not every victim can help you save them. The ARM-LOC bridges that gap.
It gives your team:
- Faster victim control
- Increased success in low-grip scenarios
- A safer, more reliable connection in chaotic water environments
Bottom Line
When grip fails, panic sets in, or seconds matter most—the ARM-LOC gives you a way to take control of the rescue.
Don’t rely on the victim. Rely on your equipment.
