What is the function of the Emergency Escape Breathing Support System (EEBSS)?

The Emergency Escape Breathing Support System (EEBSS) is specifically designed to allow two firefighters to share air from one cylinder. This function is crucial during emergency situations where one firefighter may need assistance or when a situation arises that requires sharing resources to ensure both firefighters can continue to breathe while escaping from a hazardous environment.

This system enhances the safety of firefighting teams by providing an additional air supply, which can be life-saving in scenarios such as low air supply, equipment failure, or an unforeseen need for a quick evacuation. The ability to share air allows teammates to support one another effectively, maximizing their chances of a safe exit from a dangerous situation.
