I like your training channel because your don't talk for 30 minutes before getting to the point! You get to the point and do a quick thorough easy to understand demonstration!!! I am a retired firefighter (captain) and now volunteer with a busy 6 station department. I wished we would have had this type of training access 20-30 years ago when in my career department!! Even I have been a firefighter for over 3 decades, I still enjoy keeping up with new ideas and continue to learn from today's generation of firefighters!!! Thank you!
thanks for keeping things direct and simple, it really helps learning the details on how to rescue FF's, we train on how to save a normal victim, but just go default when its one of our own because... GEAR lol
Question of clarification for the Aurora Fire folks. At around the 11:55 mark you mention that if you use the UAC you will only get about 1/2 the bottle for air. This is only the case if you then disconnect the RIT/RIC bag once it has equalized with the downed firefighters pack. **If you keep it connected you will get the full tank as it will continue to "equalize" with the tank it is connect to until they are both empty. I am guessing that you meant that you will get 1/2 a tank if you then disconnect the RIT/RIC tank.
Hi Ryan. Your theory is correct but the UAC is not designed to be left connected while the firefighter is removed. The connection itself is quite fragile and could easily break off while moving the firefighter. Hope this helps.
@@johnesposito809 Hey John, You are correct we teach to DC the UAC hot fill prior to moving to avoid a break off and catastrophic air failure. Our apologies for this not being clearer in the video.
Hey Ryan, by using the UAC hot fill it will equalize both cylinders. Meaning if you have one completely empty cylinder and one full cylinder you will end up with both cylinders with 50% air. The EBSS on the other hand will breath off of the entire full cylinder. which will give you longer air time for the down FF if you expect a longer duration exit. Hope that clarifies it.
Hello there, volly from Germany here looking for the difference between Germany and the US in firefighting and maybe learning something that's applicable under our SOPs. Why exactly do you convert the SCBA to a harness instead of just dragging them by the straps or so? Are your frames/straps not able bear the weight or is it about comfort for the downed FF? Also, out of curiosity; do you use steel/other metal bottles or are there composite bottles in use in the US too?
You need to drill the UAC and buddy breathing in complete black out conditions, When those connections first came out 20+ years ago we drilled on them most COULD NOT! make them in a blacked out condition. Takes a lot of practice.

I know it's still a new channel but it's extremely underrated! As a probie in CA, I really do appreciate these videos.
Great video! Your training techniques are stellar. Well done.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Outstanding video! I’m in training right now and RIT/Mayday week starts tomorrow…
Great job thanks

Great

We use composite bottles, the pack conversion is to keep the pack from sliding up and around on the firefighter. Stay safe brother!
@@benjaminbarton5896 thanks a lot, you too!
