among firefighters is 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:20,730 injury rate among firefighters is 7 00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:23,390 injury rate among firefighters is fourteen percent and in Boston the rate 8 00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:23,400 fourteen percent and in Boston the rate 9 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,029 fourteen percent and in Boston the rate is often double that average what gives 10 00:00:26,029 --> 00:00:26,039 is often double that average what gives 11 00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:28,669 is often double that average what gives the city it's john is a firefighters 12 00:00:28,669 --> 00:00:28,679

his way up to deputy chief 36 00:01:11,539 --> 00:01:11,549 and worked his way up to deputy chief 37 00:01:11,549 --> 00:01:13,850 and worked his way up to deputy chief when he wrote a letter about the smoke 38 00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:13,860 when he wrote a letter about the smoke 39 00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:15,859 when he wrote a letter about the smoke inhalation problem and distributed it 40 00:01:15,859 --> 00:01:15,869 inhalation problem and distributed it 41 00:01:15,869 --> 00:01:18,469 inhalation problem and distributed it around the country it was a call for 42 00:01:18,469 --> 00:01:18,479 around the country it was a call for 43 00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:21,380 around the country it was a call for help in Boston over period of a couple 44 00:01:21,380 --> 00:01:21,390 help in Boston over period of a couple 45 00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:23,630 help in Boston over period of a couple of decades we had ten members killed 46 00:01:23,630 --> 00:01:23,640 of decades we had ten members killed 47 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,790 of decades we had ten members killed while utilizing the type of equipment 48 00:01:25,790 --> 00:01:25,800 while utilizing the type of equipment 49 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,190 while utilizing the type of equipment that they had then so it's very clear to 50 00:01:28,190 --> 00:01:28,200 that they had then so it's very clear to 51 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,900 that they had then so it's very clear to us as well as too many other fire 52 00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:29,910 us as well as too many other fire 53 00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:31,219 us as well as too many other fire departments that we had to have 54 00:01:31,219 --> 00:01:31,229 departments that we had to have 55 00:01:31,229 --> 00:01:33,260 departments that we had to have something better but they really didn't 56 00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:33,270 something better but they really didn't 57 00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:35,540 something better but they really didn't seem anyone who was gonna try to develop 58 00:01:35,540 --> 00:01:35,550 seem anyone who was gonna try to develop 59 00:01:35,550 --> 00:01:39,290 seem anyone who was gonna try to develop it NASA risk on the rock an engineer is 60 00:01:39,290 --> 00:01:39,300 it NASA risk on the rock an engineer is 61 00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:40,969 it NASA risk on the rock an engineer is at the Johnson Space Center began 62 00:01:40,969 --> 00:01:40,979 at the Johnson Space Center began 63 00:01:40,979 --> 00:01:43,550 at the Johnson Space Center began adapting life-support system technology 64 00:01:43,550 --> 00:01:43,560 adapting life-support system technology 65 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,029 adapting life-support system technology used by Apollo astronauts on the moon 66 00:01:46,029 --> 00:01:46,039 used by Apollo astronauts on the moon 67 00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:49,010 used by Apollo astronauts on the moon the result an improved breathing 68 00:01:49,010 --> 00:01:49,020 the result an improved breathing 69 00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:51,380 the result an improved breathing apparatus now being used by firefighters 70 00:01:51,380 --> 00:01:51,390 apparatus now being used by firefighters 71 00:01:51,390 --> 00:01:54,620 apparatus now being used by firefighters around the world manufactured by Scott 72 00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:54,630 around the world manufactured by Scott 73 00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:57,440 around the world manufactured by Scott aviation the system consists of a face 74 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:57,450 aviation the system consists of a face 75 00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:00,649 aviation the system consists of a face mask harness frame and air tank it's 76 00:02:00,649 --> 00:02:00,659 mask harness frame and air tank it's 77 00:02:00,659 --> 00:02:02,990 mask harness frame and air tank it's much lighter and more reliable than its 78 00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:03,000 much lighter and more reliable than its 79 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,300 much lighter and more reliable than its predecessor but the most important 80 00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:05,310 predecessor but the most important 81 00:02:05,310 --> 00:02:08,330 predecessor but the most important factor is that firefighters like can use 82 00:02:08,330 --> 00:02:08,340 factor is that firefighters like can use 83 00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:10,789 factor is that firefighters like can use the system the first year that we 84 00:02:10,789 --> 00:02:10,799 the system the first year that we 85 00:02:10,799 --> 00:02:14,539 the system the first year that we utilize the NASA system we reduce smoke 86 00:02:14,539 --> 00:02:14,549 utilize the NASA system we reduce smoke 87 00:02:14,549 --> 00:02:17,600 utilize the NASA system we reduce smoke inhalation injuries from 500 down to 50 88 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:17,610 inhalation injuries from 500 down to 50 89 00:02:17,610 --> 00:02:19,360 inhalation injuries from 500 down to 50 and there was a tremendous improvement 90 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:19,370 and there was a tremendous improvement 91 00:02:19,370 --> 00:02:22,160 and there was a tremendous improvement but also our effect and controlling 92 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:22,170 but also our effect and controlling 93 00:02:22,170 --> 00:02:23,960 but also our effect and controlling fires we were able to penetrate the 94 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:23,970 fires we were able to penetrate the 95 00:02:23,970 --> 00:02:26,509 fires we were able to penetrate the building deeper and do our job better 96 00:02:26,509 --> 00:02:26,519 building deeper and do our job better 97 00:02:26,519 --> 00:02:28,819 building deeper and do our job better and firefighters will the first one to 98 00:02:28,819 --> 00:02:28,829 and firefighters will the first one to 99 00:02:28,829 --> 00:02:44,830 and firefighters will the first one to realize how effective it was 100 00:02:44,830 --> 00:02:44,840 101 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,730 it was like 102 00:02:47,730 --> 00:02:47,740 103 00:02:47,740 -->
