Breathing apparatus

Following a rigorous selection process, Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service has invested in Draeger breathing apparatus and associated equipment. Covered by Draeger's Total Care servicing package, it will arrive in two phases, starting with 220 Draeger PSS 7000 Breathing Apparatus sets complete with voice amplification and FPS 7000 Face Masks. Bringing real-time monitoring to the fore and helping to enhance communications and entry control procedures, phase two will see the introduction of Draeger Merlin PSS Telemetry systems.

Paul Walker of Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service says: "The Draeger Merlin telemetry system performed effectively and reliably throughout the trials. It is intuitive and simplistic in operation, providing the entry control officer with dynamic critical wearer information with minimal time lag."
