Abstract
A fireman's coat and drag harness therefore are provided. The drag harness includes first and second work portions received within the coat adjacent the corresponding arm portions thereof. The loop portions extend about corresponding arms of the wearer of the coat. A drag loop is operatively connected to the first and second loop portions. The drag loop extends through an opening in the torso portion of the coat so as to allow a potential rescuer to grasp the drag loop in order to drag an incapacitated person to safety.
