	Self contained breathing apparatus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Commonly an SCBA will be of the "positive pressure" type, which supplies a slight steady stream of air to stop toxic fumes or smoke from leaking into the mask.
		As SCBA technology has evolved, different models have evolved for firefighting, versus those designed for where the set does not need to be heat resistant, such as in mining.
		The closed-circuit type is a special SCBA which recirculates exhaled gas: (see rebreather for more information), used when a longer-duration supply of air is needed such as in mine rescue.

		The SCBAs in use in North America were of a different design than those used in Europe, and the components were not compatible.
		If you see a label marking an SCBA as being 1981 NFPA compliant you can be sure it is safe for firefighting, as long as it is complete and in good repair.
		As SCBAs evolved the older units were not eliminated from use, except by special jurisdictions, such as fire departments.
