The integrated facemask firefighting hood packing system allows a hood to be packed on a facemask. The TWS comprises a processor coupled to a transceiver, adapted to measure signal strength and sendreceive messages containing station ID and preferably altitude and position data. A hole and a curved slot are defined through the plate and a geometric arc formed by the curved slot has a center coincident with the center of the hole. In an embodiment of the invention, the first joint andor the third joint in each suspension is placed on the center line or farther than that.
