Europe is Dräger? No, not at all. Interspiro, Dräger, MSA and Scott are all in use in european countries. And the UK is also european...

Oh gotcha. I’m in Canada and Dräger is almost never used. Usually just used in the oil industry because it’s the cheapest brand. Most departments use MSA or Scott. Not sure if you guys use Scott across the pond.

Drager is used in Canada, but it is rarer i believe, at least in my area. Most of our gear is from the states.
