Adding a new dimension to a Mt
Kilimanjaro climb, Station
Commander Martin Lown of
Hereford & Worcester Fire and
Rescue Service completed the 5895m
(AMSL) task in seven days whilst
wearing fire kit and breathing
apparatus. Sponsored by Draeger
Safety UK and carrying a Draeger
PSS 7000 compressed air breathing
apparatus, the climb was carried out
in aid of the Fire Fighters Charity.
Lown commented: "Having recently gone live with the new Draeger PSS 7000 set within the Service as part of the West Midlands regional procurement, I decided to try and complete the climb whilst wearing fire kit and BA. Draeger BA is lightweight and comfortable to wear so it did not hinder me in any way despite the arduous conditions."
