BoxAlarm187 said:Yes, you're correct, just as the the new controversy about FireACT grants (reportedly) not being given to fire departments that don't have CBRN compliant SCBA.
NFPA is such a great thing and a demon at the same time.
As for who uses the PASS devices, they're generally only used when the SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus) is being used, which forest fighters don't.
How are they not needed? I know they wear those bright yellow shirts and all, but it seems just as dangerous with the terrain and all.
