DELSAR LIFEDETECTOR&#8482; Compact System Listening device for locating buried survivors.http://www.delsar.com/
"Searching for survivors after a disaster is always a race against time. The LifeDetector can help fire/search and rescue services to pinpoint persons who can still indicate that they are alive by means of movements, knocking or calling. The LifeDetector is capable of detecting these signs of life by using special sensors designed to pick up the extremely small vibrations transmitted in solid or gaseous media.
Experience has shown that very frequently victims trapped in a building collapse can hear their rescuers, but cannot be heard themselves outside of the rubble pile. Layers of solid concrete or rubble can block any airborne sounds from escaping. However, if the victims can tap, scratch, or move, the collapsed structure carries these sounds effectively. These sounds are not heard by the human ear, but they can be picked up by electronic listening devices. These devices employ Sensors which can convert the vibrations into visible and/or audible signals." edit

"SEARCHCAM&#8482; was the first and is still the finest technical search system to extend the rescuers best search senses (vision and hearing) into the voids of collapsed structures and inaccessible locations.... The SEARCHCAM 2000 is a highly mobile, single operator system for victim location and assessment." SEE  http://www.searchsystems.com/search_2000.html

CFD Squad 5 fireman Tom Geaswick (r) and others collapse stedents atop "the pile", apparent;ly a pile of junk but is actually an elaborate system of tunnels used for training firemen.

Life rescue dummy placed inside what looks like a huge pile of debris of all kinds but is actually an ingenious system of tunnels which are crammed full of all kinds of material that are found in a collapsed structure. The students are required to make the support shoring, crawl in, secure it on the side and on the top of the tunnel before puling out a dummy life-like in size and weight.
Alan Jacobs > 3/2/04 IFSI Structure Collapse - Wood
The beginning of a series of concrete culverts with various wood obstacles placed between and in them in which training firemen crawl with a variety of tools in order to rescue strategically place dummies of considerable weight.
