Tri-Basher

The Rescue Fire Extinguisher Tri-Basher (レスキュー消火器トライバッシャー, Resukyū Shōkaki Torai Basshā) is the team's common rescue tool with three modes. Sword and Gun Modes can execute a powerful attack, by performing a Dragon Charge (ドラゴンチャージ, Doragon Chāji) on a Rescue Soul.

  • Fire Extinguisher Mode (消火器モード, Shōkaki Mōdo): Shoots special fire-extinguishing liquid.
  • Sword Mode (ソードモード, Sōdo Mōdo): Its powerful attack is the Blizzard Slash (ブリザードスラッシュ, Burizādo Surasshu).

Jet Caliber

The Suit-Up Flying Sword Jet Caliber (着装飛剣ジェットカリバー, Chakusō Hiken Jetto Karibā) is the Sky Team's common suit-up and rescue tool, normally kept in the Sky Team's Rescue Dash vehicles until needed. It is usually in Jet Mode (ジェットモード, Jetto Mōdo) until suit-up. Voicing to its microphone on a pommel to various modes allows the user to relay commands. Allows the Sky Team to fly using its Jet Burner (ジェットバーナー, Jetto Bānā) function. Sword Mode can execute a powerful attack, by performing a Falcon Charge (ファルコンチャージ, Farukon Chāji) on a Rescue Soul.

  • Sword Mode (ソードモード, Sōdo Mōdo): Its sword guard is a command display and shoots special fire-extinguishing liquid from a fan on it. Its powerful attack is the Sky V Letter Slash (天空Vの字斬り, Tenkū Bui no Ji Giri).
    • SKY UP: Transforms the user into suit-up form upon the command "Sky Suit-Up" (天空着装, Tenkū Chakusō).
    • DASH GO: Launches a Rescue Dash vehicle from a Falcon vehicle.

X-Basher

The Rescue Extinguishing Sword X-Basher (レスキュー消火剣エクスバッシャー, Resukyū Shōkaken Ekusu Basshā) is Fire-1 X's personal suit-up and rescue tool. It was created from the Ryudouken (龍導剣, Ryūdōken, Dragon Guiding Sword), an ancient weapon with five Blue Orbs (青き珠, Aoki Tama) installed on it which defeated Donkaen in the past. Over time, the orbs have disappeared and the sword became embedded in its resting place behind Donkaen's throne until Asuka finds and frees it. Though it was heavy and rusted, the Ryudouken transforms when it reacts to Fire-1's Rescue Soul. Eventually, the X-Basher regains the Blue Pearls of "Faith" (, Shin) from Ryujin Village, "Purity" (, Sei) from the Dragon's Marsh after Jokaen took it, "Joy" (, Ki) from Nagoya City after Jokaen took it, "Love" (, Ai) from Lake Motosu, and "Friendship" (, Tomo) from Mongolia, which was Asuka's blue stone. Turning its key to various modes allows the user to relay commands. Its Sword Mode is activated by spinning its X-Wheel (エクスホイール, Ekusu Hoīru) and performing a Dragon Charge on a Rescue Soul. The weapon was left behind with Donkaen after Fire 1X chose to seal him by freezing him instead dealing a fatal blow.

  • Sword Mode (ソードモード, Sōdo Mōdo)
    • X-FIRE UP: Transforms Fire-1 into Fire-1 X form upon the command "X Suit-Up" (エクス着装, Ekusu Chakusō) with a 5-minute limit.
    • X-ATTACK: Executes the Dragon King X-Slash (龍王エクス斬り, Ryūō Ekusu Giri), which is normally used against a single opponent.
    • F-RESCUE: Executes Rescue King's Final Rescue.
  • Fire Extinguish Gun Mode (消火銃モード, Shōkajū Mōdo)

Rescue Breaker

The Rescue Breaker (レスキューブレイカー, Resukyū Bureikā) is the team's other common handheld tool with eight modes, previously used by the Rescue Force. It is usually in Mobile Mode (モバイルモード, Mobairu Mōdo) until needed.

  • Break Hammer (ブレイクハンマー, Bureiku Hanmā): A hammer mode.
  • Break Ax (ブレイクアックス, Bureiku Akkusu): An axe mode. Used primarily by Yuma.
