Last Chance Rescue Filter from Essex PB&R
The Last Chance Rescue Filter is a single-use, air-purifying respirator designed to easily adapt to an SCBA mask in the event a firefighter can no longer get air. The filter protects the firefighter from the effects of an IDLH atmosphere making a self rescue possible in an out-of-air emergency. Check out the rescue filters online or call 1-314-351-6116.
FireHawk® M7 Responder Air Mask from MSA
MSA’s new FireHawk M7 Responder Air Mask is uniquely versatile protection that can quickly be transformed into a CBRN air-purifying respirator (APR) or a CBRN powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR). You can change respirator modes as your job changes direction from first response and rescue to scene management and remediation activities.
