Where firefighters come to talk training

The Sunday Preach

Are you comfortable?

"...without a working SCBA, you are nothing more than a civilian in a fireman costume." 

As simple as it sounds, we need air to breathe. The SCBA is THE TOOL that allows us to perform inside the IDLH. It allows us to make that push down the hallway, make the search in the back bedroom. It is our LIFE...

"You must be intimately familiar with your departments brand of SCBA. You must study how it works, inside and out. We cannot tell you how to be more comfortable in your SCBA. It is however, the SCBA ensemble that is the basis for every firefighting operation that me attempt. If you are not intimately familiar and ultimately comfortable with yourself when using your SCBA, you cannot be a fully combat ready firefighter" (pg.39)

Your SCBA and YOU.... Perfect together.
