SCVA? on a fire channel
A neighbor's mobile home burned last night. At one point they said anyone
not wearing an SCVA was to leave the remains of the coach. What is that? SCVA? If I am remembering the acronym wrong, my apologies. It is amazing how fast mobile homes become completely involved. It to 40 minutes before the fire was under control. |

I am quite sure it was actually SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus)
and the reason why they probably said to leave the immediate area of the fire, is that there are many/multiple carcinogens and poisons in fire gases. It is also a requirement as well I am sure too...... -- Ryan, KC8PMX FF1-FF2-MFR-(pending NREMT-B!) --. --- -.. ... .- -. --. . .-.. ... .- .-. . ..-. .. .-. . ..-. ... --. .... - . .-. ...
