Hi Bob, Thank you for your response. I had a suspiscion that you may use rebreathers for special operations but wasn't sure if it was the case. It makes sense that you would use them in subways/tunnels and the like. That is probably one of the closest enviroments to and underground mine i would...

Good evening Team, I had a question for all you FDNY Guru's out there. This is in relation to long duration SCBA. I was wondering what you use for long duration SCBA operations. i would imagine a standard BA cylinder would not suffice for highrise operations and i wondered what you use in that...

Hi Ron, Thank you for your reply. It appears as though the perculating hose were a fad that never took off from decades ago. This certainly does de-bunk the myth aussies have that Americans use them in building fires and the like. Not sure were it started but i'm glad to see that i'm getting...

I tried reposting, hopefully this works :)
