The Firefighter Air Coalition (FAC) is a fire service advocacy group that focuses on firefighter  air management best practices, technology and advanced fireground research. This presentation, by FAC President and retired Seattle Fire Captain Mike Gagliano, will focus on the impacts of technology on Firefighter Air.

The necessity of air to successfully accomplish our mission is no longer a choice – it is a critical component of the fireground. To fight fire, save lives, protect property and live to tell the tale, firefighters need air and water. Today – more than ever before, technology has become a necessary partner in every breath we take.

Join us for an overview of some of the most exciting innovations in our industry, targeted at giving firefighters the air they need, in ways we never thought would be possible.  At the end of this program – your perception of air – and the technology you need to keep you safe and healthy – will change.
