Fire captains and incident commanders are typically savvy about their department’s fleet of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). That’s because SCBAs are critical, life-saving gear for all first responders on fire grounds, at chemical spills, in mechanical rooms, and in confined space rescues.
But staying current on new regulatory requirements and best practices – let alone new technology developments in advanced wireless communications, connectivity and the ergonomics of lightweight, highly maneuverable SCBAs – can be daunting. The reality is that today’s SCBA technology can lead to improved safety and bottom-line health for first responders.
