Each student is required to provide their own personal protective equipment (hard hat, steel-toed safety shoes or boots and safety glasses). Gloves and breathing apparatus will be furnished. Firefighters and others with SCBAs may bring them, though it is not necessary. If you bring your SCBA, we can arrange for cylinder refills (2216 and 4500 psi).
