Cascade System

 

 

As you can see the system contains five 4500 compressed air tanks.  This system allows us to fill breathing air bottles at the scene.  This system should not be confused with Oxygen or "O2".  Our air packs, as well as tanks divers use, use normal breathing air.  In the picture you can see the dry erase board the allows us to see quickly where we stand on the system at any time.  The board on the right is where the operator can keep track of how many bottles he/she has filled and what type of bottle it was.  The two green PVC cylinders you see are merely holders so the operator can quickly and safely use both hands for their duties.  The large hose at the bottom of the picture is the fill hose for the system. The system is filled at the station through a large air compressor.  When completely empty the system can take several hours to fill.
