SCVA? on a fire channel
 

A neighbor's mobile home burned last night. At one point they said anyone
not wearing an SCVA was to leave the remains of the coach. What is that?
SCVA?

If I am remembering the acronym wrong, my apologies.

It is amazing how fast mobile homes become completely involved. It to 40
minutes before the fire was under control.

could be SCBA self contained breathing aparatus.

The scuba-like breathing apparatus used by firefighters I think.

It is S C B A... Self Contained Breathing Apparatus.. The tanks they wear
into burning buildings or other toxic areas.

I am quite sure it was actually SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus)
and the reason why they probably said to leave the immediate area of the
fire, is that there are many/multiple carcinogens and poisons in fire gases.
It is also a requirement as well I am sure too......
