As I'm sure many of you have seen if you follow FF Close Calls, there was an incident involving an SCBA cylinder (The Army has tanks, babies have bottles, FD has Cylinders) while filling a raft for water rescue in Garland, Tx. I think the incident should serve as a reminder to all of us that SCBA cylinders are high pressure and they are dangerous. I know all the departments I have ever been associated with use the SCBA cylinders in similar applications. I know I have never considered something like this happening to me, but obviously it can, so be safe. Well wishes go out to the Garland FD in this hard time, hopefully the brother will recover quickly and be back out in the field soon.
