SSO Wong had opportunity to be involved with a demonstration of FARS at the Glendale Regional Public Safety Training Centre (GRPSTC), in Arizona. This demonstration was hosted live online by Fire Engineering’s Bobby Halton via a “Humpday Hangout” on 18 January 2017. In this picture, firefighters are demonstrating the process of an emergency air refill, to top up their cylinders to eliminate the chance of running out of air to allow for the safe exit out of an irrespirable atmosphere.
