(INTRODUCTION)
What is fire?
Fire is a chemical reaction that
produces heat and light when a
combustible material rapidly
oxidizes in the presence of oxygen.
Further fire produces byproducts of
Heat, smoke, flame, Toxic Gas,
Inert Gas, UV Rays, IR Rays,
Pressure etc.

operation
3. Ensure compressor is delivering the air with
breathable quality
POST OPERATION ACTION
1. Shut down the SCBA Compressor by following the
Manufactures Instruction.
2. Perform the routine maintenance.
3. Ensure the record is maintained regarding the operation, shut
down and Maintenance
