Members Review SCBA Skills
 
February 23, 2022
 

For yesterday's weekly Tuesday night drill, Millwood FD members headed to Station 1 to go over air packs, or SCBAs (self-contained breathing apparatus), and air management. Members reviewed the different components of our air packs and practiced maneuvers to don and doff the packs in the event of encountering obstacles in a structure during an incident. Members also had the opportunity to experience what it's like to breathe down their bottles completely in our fitness center. This knowledge is extremely valuable, as our air packs provide us with the necessary clean air to search for victims, extinguish fire, and mitigate any additional hazards in a structure fire or other related emergency.
