A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a critical piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) that firefighters rely on during emergency responses such as working structure fires and hazardous material exposures. SCBA provides firefighters breathable air, under pressure, to allow them to operate safely in environments that are inherently dangerous to life or health (IDLH). All firefighters who use SCBA must understand proper function of the equipment, limitations for use, and care and maintenance to ensure each SCBA is service-ready for the next emergency response.
