Breathing apparatus (BA) is essential equipment that supplies clean, breathable air to firefighters working in hazardous environments. Our BA sets provide a reliable air source, protecting firefighters from toxic smoke, low oxygen levels, and airborne contaminants. BA plays a crucial role in our emergency response, allowing firefighters to operate safely in life-threatening conditions.

How does it work?
BA enables firefighters to breathe safely in dangerous environments. Each set includes:
- A face mask that forms an air-tight seal to keep out harmful air.
- A cylinder of compressed air worn on the firefighter’s back.
- A supply system that delivers up to 45 minutes of breathable air.
Who uses BA?
Every on-duty firefighter has a BA set available and checks it at the start of every shift to ensure it is ready for use.
What are the benefits?
BA is vital for firefighter safety, allowing them to:
- Enter smoke-filled and toxic environments safely.
- Perform rescues and firefighting operations that would otherwise be impossible.
- Operate in gas leaks, chemical spills, and other hazardous incidents.
When is it used?
Firefighters wear BA in most fire incidents, especially when:
- Entering burning buildings to extinguish fires.
- Tackling large outdoor fires with heavy smoke exposure.
- Responding to gas leaks or chemical spills where breathing protection is required.
