Emergency Responder Shelter
Set-up and Take Down
Set-up
Make sure there is enough room for your FAST Shelter inflatable tent before you take it from your work van or pickup truck. Walk off about 30 feet in one direction and 15 feet in the other. And if it is a windy location, be sure to leave room to park a vehicle on the attached pads for better stability.
Call or email us with any questions.
- FAST Shelter will come in a heavy duty canvas bag or hard-side container with tie up straps. Undo the straps, flip the bag or container on its side and roll out the shelter. Any flat surface will do.
- Locate the two end doors and drag the shelter to face the way you want. Spread the shelter out flat so that the bottom black tubes are pulled tightly opposite each other. It is a little easier to do with two people, but one can handle it.
- Place the blower by the blower tube and attach the tube.
- Plug in the electric cord and turn on the blower. FAST Shelter will begin to inflate.With models 450/550 the blower is internal and all that is necessary is to plug in the cord.
- FAST Shelter inflates by itself. It is the tubes that inflate, not the whole structure.

Securing The Shelter
There are several methods to secure the shelter from movement. Each corner of shelter has upper and lower straps that can be tied to anything solid, ie. light pole, fence post, stake in ground, car tire, car bumper. Tire patches - two pieces of heavy fabric that clip to the bottom of the shelter and a vehicle can be parked on them.
