I’m all for the fun and games, but bringing SCBAs into the kitchen? Nah. We all know these things can only get so clean.

If you really want them to get comfortable in SCBA, have them train in gear. The fire service seems to find anything and everything to do for training other than actual training.

Agreed. Let’s play dodgeball on air! Let’s have the new guy clean the shitter on air!

Or - and hear me out cause this might sound crazy - if you want your new guy to improve his air consumption while performing firefighting tasks, you should have him practice air consumption while performing firefighting tasks.
