The self-contained breathing apparatus, or SCBA, is the foundational tool that provides the greatest amount of airway protection from toxic gas and harmful particulates resulting from a fire. It’s essential for modern firefighting. As the inventor of the modern-day SCBAs specifically for firefighters, this year marks 80 years since that first Dräger SCBA. The Dräger SCBA provides the most robust breathing protection combined with unparalleled ergonomic comfort. Dräger proudly offers the latest SCBA with extensive updates that earned the 2018 Edition of NFPA certifications.
