Why you should wear your SCBA

[wierdid 2]

There are too many variables not to take the proper precautions. It does not take a lot of effort to put on SCBA.

What do you fix first, the stupid or the lazy?? I always feel bad when people doing the right thing get injured, because it can happen to the safest people. I find it hard to be sympathetic in situations like this. They learned the hard way, and are lucky it wasn't worse. Some people learn things the hard way and get dead.

Another video for the training community. I've heard people try to differentiate and justify SCBA use during a house fire, and its use during a car fire. Smoke from both are just as snotty, there are no reasons not to wear it, the van is obviously a total loss. What is one more minute? We aren't in the business of trading lives to get the job done.
