This reinforces the need to check out your personal gear and the equipment on the rig and the vehicle itself at the beginning of each shift

Also check the bottle before donning. Its your life! do you want to trust it to the last guy who used the equipment.

And with the electronics in the SCBA, we can (after the fact) see when it was tested (date & time) and what the levels were. This is one of the 1st thing NIOSH checks when investigating a LODD.

A few depts. can see the air levels in real time during an incident.
