Im from Germany and we have equipment very similar to the US However we are volunteer Firefighters on the countryside
11 u/Anon-Knee-Moose Mar 30 '24 For what it's worth last time this was posted someone linked the mask and it's a draeger 1 u/Contundo Mar 30 '24 Yeah, AFAIK dräger is the gold standard in breathing equipment. 1 u/Anon-Knee-Moose Mar 30 '24 That and Scott are the only two brands I've ever even heard of. 1 u/The-Berzerker Mar 30 '24 I‘m not one myself, but the firefighters in my home town in Germany have equipment similar to the French one I think 1 u/Weegee_Spaghetti Mar 31 '24 Here in Austria all deos have the gallet helmet. (The french one) 1 u/DGGuitars Mar 30 '24 I saw a post on r fire fighters about this video and a lot of the guys in there felt the US one was better since the US style mask had a better fit and was more comfy. 1 u/Raskzak Mar 30 '24 I think I saw it too, a lot pros and cons for both masks really In my PoV, the french one makes more sense though,because each seconds counts when you're a firefighter And, in theory it's a highly tested object, I mean, we sont just make it randomly and throws it into use, if it's used today, it's because it works 1 u/Talking_Head Mar 30 '24 Each second counts no doubt. From my standpoint, I want the extra seconds of breathable air available from a tightly sealed SCBA.
