SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus)

A Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is a device that provides breathable air in environments where the air is unsafe, such as during fires or hazardous material spills. It consists of a face mask and a tank filled with compressed air. SCBA enables firefighters and emergency responders to work safely in smoke-filled or toxic areas by supplying clean air directly to the wearer. It is essential for ensuring their safety while performing rescue operations, maintaining clear visibility, and protecting against inhaling harmful substances.
