Once this was done members went and bled down their air until the low air warning went off. The next step was to see how long they could make the air last. Members also had to transmit a mayday. The reason for seeing how long the air would last was to show members how long it could last if they remained calm if they became trapped. FFCombat

High Brush Fire Risk

Written by Jeff Forde | 05 April 2013

Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is reminding residents to be aware of forest fire dangers during the spring fire season. Today’s Forest Fire Danger Level is HIGH and the National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag warning for all of Connecticut from 10AM to 8PM. Any permit to burn brush is not valid when the Forest Fire Danger is rated high, very high, or extreme. Red Flag warnings are issued when winds will be sustained or there will be frequent gusts above a certain threshold (normally 25 mph). In addition, relative humidity needs to be below 30% and precipitation for the previous 5 days has to have been less than 1/4-inch.
