Self contained breathing apparatus.......a bottle of air and facepiece the firefighter wears inside a fire or dangerous atmosphere, so they do not breathe in harmful toxins.
Might I recommend using Google or some other means of researching YOUR OWN work? Once you've got the paper completed, feel free to post it here and ask for a critique.
I want to answer your question because after all, it's Christmas! Here goes, and follow along closely here, the instructions are not terribly complicated, so just read and click the links.
1. Click this link to access a website called "GOOGLE - Image Search". This will enable you to see what a "SCBA" looks like as well as the multitude of manufacturers out there that sell these things.
2. Click this link to access a website called "GOOGLE - Information Search". This will enable you to read about the "SCBA" as well as discover that many other questions you might have can be answered doing something called research. With a little of your OWN "research" you can learn how to contact the multitude of manufacturers out there that sell these things and they can send you things in the mail or on the internet to your email address.
I understand that not everyone is used to doing their own work and in this case, their own homework. You now have the tools young Jarrod to go on with your life and answer what ever y'all want to know about anything.
3. Visit a fire station where they have SCBA's. If you ask the firefighters, they will not only show you one, but will enable you to put one on, but I'm not promising anything. This is a total jurisdiction / Station Captain's call, not mine. If it was my station, I would let you wear one.
If you are lucky, you might even visit a fire station when they are training with the putting on and taking off of the SCBA, which is called donning and doffing the SCBA. Look up those two words using Google to learn more.
