A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a device worn to provide an autonomous supply of breathable gas in an atmosphere that is immediately dangerous to life or health. They are typically used in firefighting and industry.

A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a respiratory device that contains and delivers breathable compressed air. It is typically used by the firefighters and rescue workers while operating in areas of immediate danger to life and health, such as inside a building inferno or in a mine filled with smoke or toxic gas.

A Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is a respiratory protection device that supplies wearers with clean compressed air from an attached cylinder, allowing them to breathe in environments where ambient air is unsafe or insufficient.

The self-contained breathing apparatus, or SCBA, is the foundational tool that provides the greatest amount of airway protection from toxic gas and harmful particulates resulting from the fire. It’s essential for modern firefighting and today’s complex fire grounds.

Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) are freely portable respiration devices. They are worn either on the back or the hip with an appropriate harness.
