[QUOTE="bushmaster06, post: 4094686, member: 24431"] I've used an SCBA a few times and I was lucky to get 15 minutes out of a bottle. Getting it on correctly and quickly takes a bit of practice and there's no way a kid or an old person could even do it. I could go from standing next to all of the gear to fully suited up in turnouts, boots, flash hood, gloves, SCBA, and helmet in under a minute, but I worked like hell to get that fast. Then I learned that I was claustrophobic with all of that crap on in a smoke-filled room on my hands and knees in the dark with the mask covered with duct tape trying to navigate through a maze of turned over furniture. That was an awesome high school class though. The other students got a little jealous when they'd see us roll up in an engine, or taking a car apart with spreaders and cutters, or hanging off of the roof in rappelling harnesses, or having water fights with fire hoses.
