Firefighter FAQ's
M1 SCBA was designed to be comfortable in all scenarios so that nothing gets in the way of you doing your job. With a backplate that fits the natural shape of the back, whatever your size or shape, firefighters will all feel the same comfortable and balanced fit.
Among several other monitoring signals, the M1 Control Module has a free-fall alarm that is automatically sent to the MSA monitoring software, keeping you accounted for at all times. The system is enabled for mass deployment of evacuation, firefighter-down, uncontrolled loss of pressure and personal alarms to name a few.
We believe that comfort should never come at the cost of safety. MSA’s M1 SCBA is lightweight and its swivelling hip belt follows your body movement, freeing you up to focus on the job.
Whilst the power of radio frequency in traditional technology diminishes over distance and other obstacles, the M1 system’s telemetry isn’t compromised by these interferences. It ensures a network of safety you can always rely on.
