6 Trained in SCBA Maintenance

October 26, 2005

 
Moorhead Fire was awarded a federal Fire Act Grant in 2004 to replace our entire fleet of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.

Our new SCOTT 4.5 45-minute SCBAs and spare bottles were placed into service earlier this year.

A portion of the grant also provided for training to handle routine maintenance and testing of the units to avoid costly service calls from the manufacturer.

 

Craig Craft from Scott

The three day class covered the operational principles of the units, a full tear-down and rebuild, troubleshooting, common repairs, tools equipment and techniques, operation of test equipment, and operation of Scott software and accessories.

Two personnel from each shift are now certified by Scott to work on the units.

(Row 1 L-R) Welk, Church, Dewar, Hicks
