"Anniston, Ala. CDP trainees check a fellow responder's self-contained breathing apparatus as he suits u for an exercise. There are no toxic agents resent, but students know how important it is train the way you do it for real. The breathing apparatus starts clanging a warning when the air level gets low, which tells responders to get out in the fresh air and change tanks.
