These new SCBAs are replacing the nearly 20 years old equipment that was in use. In July of last year, Deputy Fire Chief Doug Waechter presented a report to the South Bruce Council highlighting the need for new SCBAs. Waechter explained that the age of their current SCBA, combined with the difficulties and expense to repair them, made the need for new equipment urgent.
