Fishers Fire & Emergency Services has replaced self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), declaring the remaining SCBA equipment surplus, transferring 12 SCBA and 24 cylinders to the Fishers Police Department for use in non-fire hazardous environments during SWAT operations.

There is more SCBA equipment remaining, so the Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety voted Tuesday morning to donate the equipment to Ukraine.  This apparatus has been replaced with updated equipment for the city’s Fire & Emergency services.

The SCBA donation will be made to U.S. Ambulances For The Ukraine, which is managed through The Ukrainian Society of Indianapolis, in conjunction with the Ukrainian Society in Chicago.
