Bunker Gear & SCBA Donning (NFPA Firefighter 1)

I had a request to do a video on donning PPE and SCBA. So, I asked my students to help because I knew they would be faster than me! They are following their NFPA Firefighter 1 sign offs. According to their sign offs, they have 90 seconds to don their bunker gear, and an additional 90 seconds to don their SCBA. In this video, they don both in under 90 seconds. I plan on doing some more videos of masking up under various circumstances. Stay tuned!

Just received my gear for a volunteer FD watching as many of these videos as I can learning new ways to cut my time down thank you for posting this

Teach them how to properly position their SCBA on their body; if you crank down those shoulder straps first, you'll be sore much sooner than if you let the weight sit on your hips instead! Going for the shoulder straps is first is a hard habit to break, but you'll be much better off if you do the waist belt first! Otherwise, great job prepping these new firefighters! Every second counts!

Very nice guys! I would say for us in jersey we go on air last but everyone does it differently :)
