  1. SCBA Mask Confidence Becoming confident in your equipment

  3. SCBA mask confidence • This program will provide a detailed training simulation that reinforces personal proficiency while emphasizing standardized emergency techniques to be initiated when encountering a sudden hazardous event on the fire ground.

  4. Why do I need this class? • Yearly requirement to have SCBA refresher. • Allows you to know what your limitations are and how to overcome them. • You depend on the operation and your ability to operate your SCBA in stressful situations.

  5. What will we be doing? • Short class room session discussing SCBA operations. • Discuss way to make your profile smaller and how to maneuver in tight situations. • Go complete a SCBA mask confidence course while on air.

  8. The course • Follow the rope into the building • There are knots approximately every 20 feet with a set of smaller knots behind the main knot telling you how far you have gone. • The knots will allow you the ability to tell command where you are inside the building in case of emergency.

  9. The course • When the rope runs out you will find a hose line. • You need to locate a coupling nearest to you and figure out which way is out. • Follow the hose line through the remainder of the course until an instructor tells you your out.

  10. L.C.A.N. Report • You will be required to provide 1 L.C.A.N. report while going through the course. • L - Location (Where you are inside the building.) • C – Conditions (what are the current condition at your location.) • A – Actions (what are you doing right now and what are you going to do next.) • N – Needs (what do you need?)

  11. Obstacles • Some of the obstacles are small and very confining. • Stay calm and work through them, without braking the prop.

  12. Problems • If you encounter a problem slow down and catch your breath. • Talk to your partner and see if they can find a way to get through the problem and talk you through it. • Ask for Help

  13. Problems • If your low air alarm sounds tell command you location and 2 full air bottles will be brought to you. • If you run out of air you have failed the course and will have to try again. • If you do not know where you are we can not bring you new bottles.

  14. Skills Reinforced • Reduced Profiling • Communication Partner / Command • Accountability • Confidence in your ability
