Breathing Apparatus
Breathing Apparatus sets allow firefighters to enter areas filled with smoke or other poisonous gases. The sets consists of a cylinder that contains compressed air, a mask that is worn over the whole face, a gauge to tell the firefighter the pressure in the cylinder, a distress signal unit that activates if the firefighter stops moving and other safety equipment. The cylinder can supply up to 45 minutes of air although hard work and other factors can reduce this duration.
