After long delays, the Committee has been advised that the Chief Officer has now endorsed the proposal for phased Breathing Apparatus (BA) competencies.

This means that there will now be two levels of BA training & competency.

Level 1 will be for training on BA for external fire attack such as car fires, bin fires and haystacks.

Level 2 will incorporate search and rescue aspects and internal structural attack scenarios.
