Members of Station 42 dedicated their drill to sharpening their proficiency with self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The SCBA is one of the most vital tools in a firefighter’s arsenal, supplying clean, breathable air in hazardous environments filled with smoke or toxic gases. By practicing with this life-saving equipment, firefighters ensure they remain prepared to operate safely and effectively in dangerous conditions, reinforcing both their personal safety and their ability to protect the community.
