I remember the first time I put mine on. I was fine until I went to take my regulator off my mask and got it stuck and couldn't breathe. I started panicking and trying to pull my mask off instead of staying calm and trying to figure out how to get it unstuck. Good times.
The first breath you ever take on an Scba is the worst Lol.. My first time i fuckin ripped my mask off cause i didnt have a proper seal and no air was coming in :P SO i flipped out and ripped the mask off.. Nomex hood and all Lol.. I threw my helmet. :P
ha ha, at about 0:09 i hear some guy say " cuz a fat guy like me might go put it on next" he's gotta be talkin about leaving the shoulder and waist straps on the scba extended when after your done with it
i watched this video a few weeks before i used a scott pack i was freaked out but its not scarey at all the best way to do it the first time is to not put the webbing on but just put the mask to your face
I just got my SCBA yesterday, it's NOTHING...it's weird though...you have to experience to really know what it's like...but it's nothin!! So nobody should be nervous...And idk why she jumped...it's a little bit of a surprise, but it's a releif! I't difficult to breathe out of the mask when you dont have the regulator.
Actually there are two tanks one rated at 4500 psi and the other at 2216 psi... when it first goes into the pressure regulator it gets taken down to 100 psi, then it's depressurized again in the actual regulator itself to about 4-5 psi
so i just recently started as a jr. back in the beginning of november and about 3 weeks after i joined on one of our drill nights one of the guys had to teach me how to use it and i was nervous but i thought it was so cool and when i did it i didnt jump i just stood there like THIS IS SOOOO COOL!!!!
yeah im not a jounior firefighter anymore cause i just resently turned 18 but just a couple days ago i tryed on a air pack and i was blind folded and went threw a drill i did the same thing but didnt jump as high lol!!! im also a guy and its pretty neat seeing a gurl ass a firefighter but i love firefighting its adicting o and by the way my name is kyle(:
The tank air pressure can be upwards of 4,500 psi. There is a high pressure regulator that brings the air pressure down to about 60psi. In the low pressure regulator (the part that hooks up to the mask), there is a negative pressure diaphragm/valve. one breathes-in, the valve opens and gives him/her a blast of breathing air at about 60psi. It will stay open as long as the firefighter is breathing open.
