Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) & Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Training
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or "turnout gear" is designed to protect firefighters from serious injuries from heat, flames, cuts, abrasions, and other physical hazards. PPE consists of boots, bunker pants, coat, hood, gloves, and a helmet.
A Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) or airpack is a device worn to provide firefighters breathable air in a hazardous atmosphere such as a heat and smoke-filled room.
The Warren County Junior Firefighters train to don their PPE & SCBA as rapidly and as proficiently as possible. This is an important skill for all firefighters so they can board their fire apparatus quickly and be ready to fight fire when they arrive on-scene.
