🔍 Key Concepts

• Location requirements for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and their recharging devices on board • The idea of storing support equipment near the primary equipment it serves • How quick access in an emergency affects where life‑saving support gear is placed

💭 Think About

• If crew must don an SCBA in a smoke‑filled space, where should the recharge be so they can safely and logically find and use it? • Does it make more sense for the recharge to be with general emergency equipment, navigation equipment, or associated directly with the SCBA it supports? • Think about how inspections and maintenance are done: where would it be most efficient to check the SCBA and its recharge together?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice places the recharge in direct association with the SCBA units themselves • Eliminate locations that are primarily for navigation/command functions rather than fire/safety gear • Check that the chosen location would allow fast, obvious access to both the SCBA and its recharge during an emergency
