Two of the most important pieces of equipment that have a significant influence on firefighter safety, particularly during interior firefighting operations, are the firefighter’s SCBA and their PASS device.

 

The NFPA is currently updating its two applicable standards, NFPA 1981 – Standard on Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus for Emergency Services and NFPA 1982 – Standard on Personal Alert Safety Systems (PASS). The 2018 editions for both standards are on track for issuance this November and would take effect in December.
