The drag rescue device (DRD) is an essential safety feature integrated into the protective coat worn by firefighters. Its primary purpose is to assist in the rescue of downed firefighters, enabling a colleague to drag them to safety quickly and efficiently. The DRD typically consists of webbing or straps that are strategically placed on the back of the coat, accessible to a rescuer in an emergency.

In the context of firefighting gear, the protective coat is designed to provide thermal protection as well as support rescue operations, enhancing the overall safety of firefighters during hazardous situations. The inclusion of the DRD in the coat exemplifies the commitment to worker safety and reflects the rigorous standards set by the NFPA regarding firefighter equipment and personal protective gear.

The other options, such as the PASS device, SCBA harness, and protective pants, serve different functions related to safety and equipment usage in firefighting, but they do not incorporate a drag rescue feature like the drag rescue device mounted in the protective coat does.
