A device and method for rescuing people from a burning multistoried building, whereby a rescue rope (10) and fastening hook (8) are conveyed upwards from below, into the vicinity of the person to be rescued (1) with the use of an extending telescoping cylinder (6). When the fastening hook is locked in place on the multistoried building (15), for example, on the railing (2) of a balcony (16), a rescue basket (12) is raised with a rescue rope up to the person being rescued. The person is lowered in the rescue basket with the rope to the ground. The telescoping cylinders can be operated, either as a single cylinder or in pairs, either hydraulically or pneumatically. The cylinders can be operated with a water pump or compressed-air tank, for example. |
