Firefighters choose BA
April 1st 2008

Following a three month trial with breathing apparatus (BA) from three different manufacturers, the AgustaWestland Fire and Rescue Service at Yeovil has chosen the new Draeger PSS 7000 BA complete with PSS Bodyguard II electronic monitoring capabilities.

The sets went live in November after just one week of training and were selected for their ease of maintenance, future system expandability and reliability.

Paul Smith, station commander, explains "Not only have we become the first non-local authority fire service to use the new system in the UK, but our firefighters are now benefiting from the very latest BA technology from Draeger.

"Modular in design, the set can also be easily enhanced in the future to bring us data storage capabilities as well as electronic monitoring and telemetry. This is particularly important to our management team who are keen to ensure that we continue to offer the best levels of safety to our firefighters within this busy aerodrome environment." He adds "Fitted with 9L, 300 bar composite cylinders, the sets have also been supplied with the F2 mask which offered a fuller field of vision and which was something that was of prime importance to us."
