Nicely done. However, the way the mask was put on isnt complying with what we were taught in class. The polyester net is supposed to be flipped over the face piece. Then when putting the mask on, you are to place the mask on your face and easily slide the net across your head ten secure the straps. Look at my video response.

@nsrailfann4life91 There are two ways to don the mask.. what I teach at our hall is this: if you have hair then put the mask on your face and draw the net over your head.. it will help pull the hair out of the way.. if you don't have hair (like me since I shave my head) then it's just as correct to put the net on and pull the mask down to your face.. as long as you have a correct seal in the end, there is no "right" way to don your SCBA mask..

@dlloyd001 This is true. I have black man's hair lol, so I kind of have to do it the other way lol.

I´ve seen a lot of F.F using SCBAs as merely backpacks in emergencies that really demands a properly use of this apparatus. It´s also sad to watch how many F.F wear the protective hood as scarves. good vid

Recommend the use of a narrator for future donning videos.
