    I can attest to that. We (Wanganui) were 1 of the trial brigades with APR Filters. There ok but they're hard work to wear, you know you've been wearing 1 after half an hour. They're to be worn whenever conducting overhaul until deemed safe by testing with Multi Gas Detector, or any situation of heavy smoke presence, such as rural fire. Not to be worn in place of BA.

    I cant see there will be mass resignations but it remains unclear what the current Rural role will be.

    Its not going to be all beer and skittles thats fore sure. Devil will be in the detail.

    Without wanting to preempt anything, The NZFS ERD (Emergency Response Driver) driving course teachers you how to prevent getting into a skid rather than controlling one. Defensive driving.
    The crew have a right to tell the driver to slow down but cannot tell them to speed up.

    Be interesting to see what comes of it

    @Mauser308 The pictures shown by sako75 Pic 1. We are not looking at these at a option, think that was tongue and cheek. Pic 2. That is a Panarama Nova mask, not used by NZFS. We Use FPS 7000 masks with integrated coms.
    I'm not sure what you mean by the two sets we,nzfs, use? NZFS only use 1 type of set since 2012, Draeger PSS5000.
    Air reg, mate its not a dive set, Lung demand valve I guess is what you are talking about. The regulator is in the backplate.
    Your assumption that that its borderline dangerous is unfounded. Anyone who is to wear a BA mask with a APR filter is to have,done prior, a mask face fit test. Essentially a negative pressure test to see if your face fits the mask in a negative pressure setting.
    I hear what you are saying about cost but they are intended to be use where full SCBA is not a, practical or b, obstructive where mildly irespirable atmosphere's are present such as overhaul after structures and vege fires.

    well it would go faster if you didnt fill the entire cab up with people , ..... its like watching a guiness book of records attempt , when a vollie truck turns ,

    I,m liking your posts @stumpy as I can relate to what you are saying.
    Our neighbouring brigade would turn out with a police light bar in the back seat - red and blue (Now green and blue) as their gauranteed turnout for every call. One house fire they had no BA wearers FFS
