“We interviewed many firefighters across North America over the past four years to determine which concerns needed to be addressed and, if possible, enhanced with our new design,” said Don Reycroft, Sales and Marketing Director for Avon-ISI. “Past concerns of SCBAs have centered on ease of operation, communications, and air management.
