On August 21, BPVFD finished our most recent large scale project by putting 20 new self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA’s) on our trucks, along with 2 rapid-intervention-team (RIT) packs, and a 5,000 PSI filling unit in our station. Our new airpacks boast longer operating time in smaller bottles, larger field of view, safer and more integrated electronics, and thermal imaging capabilities on every firefighter. We are grateful for the opportunity to make the project happen with the help of Travis Rawleigh at Churchville Fire Equipment and most importantly, the members of our community who continuously donate to our department. We thank you!
