it is neither a gas mask or scuba mask. it is the mask that is worn with his SCBA. i assume it is for lung conditioning do to restrictive breathing. kind of like running with a snorkel in your mouth, same concept. we do a lot of that at my Dept. but we wear full gear and bottles and run them dry until we "suck the face piece"
Looks like a gas mask, and my guess would be they use it to simulate the limited amount of air they get when they go in to a smokey building. Train your muscles how your going to use them! Now, I'm no Firefighter nor do I know any personally, so my guesses are just that, guesses. Hats off to American Firefighters!!
