🔍 Key Concepts

• SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) safety procedures in enclosed-space firefighting • Priority of actions when air supply is restricted or failing • Dangers of removing respiratory protection in a smoke-filled or toxic atmosphere

💭 Think About

• If you suddenly feel strong resistance to breathing, what is that telling you about the condition of your air supply or the apparatus? • In an enclosed, possibly smoke-filled space, which action would most quickly reduce your immediate life-threatening risk? • Which options would expose your lungs directly to the atmosphere in the compartment, and how safe is that likely to be during an active fire?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices involve staying in the hazardous atmosphere longer versus creating distance from the hazard • Check which option requires you to remove the facepiece or apparatus in a contaminated environment • Consider standard SCBA training: in an air-supply emergency, what is the primary goal—adjusting equipment, signaling, or getting to safe air?
