HAZMAT/SCBA QUESTION

[TXFIRE6]

I am helping put together proposals for a HazMat Team, and was curious..which types of SCBA's are used for HazMat in your Departments/Teams. Please include the duration, and cylinder types. Thanks.

We use Scott 4.5's. Thirty minute for fires and one hour for Haz-Mat, mostly carbon fiber bottles.

TX, we use Scott 5.0's with 45 minute bottles for GP usage. If going to a known, or suspected HazMat, I have our team swap out with 60 minute bottles.
