Each unit commander, in consultation with the local fire authority or State Fire Marshal, shall ensure sufficient number of self-contained breathing apparatus are easily accessible to station jail personnel in order to evacuate inmates in case of fire and/or smoke. The self-contained breathing apparatus shall be inspected daily (per shift) and logged in the e-UDAL.
Hydrostatic testing should be current. This involves testing of the gauges and tank integrity under pressure every three to five years, depending on the model.
