Type Equipment Useful Life 20 years Category Fire Priority n/a Total Project Cost: $161,600 bottles, SCBA face masks, and upgrades to SCBA air packs as needed. We Justification Firefighting is a very rigorous and demanding activity that is performed in an environment of extremes. The periodic replacement and /or additions to SCBA equipment is required to maintain current quantities through replacement of damaged or destroyed equipment and to equip new firefighters. Replacing existing 30 minute bottles with 45 minute bottles extends work time and allows for additional time to exit the hazard zone. A portion of the cost of the 45 minute bottles will be offset by the sale of the 30 minute bottles.
