  Thanks…..I am aware that the Snorkels have their own air system and that the ff’s in question do not have masks on. The question is….are masks readily available in the basket already or do they need to bring them when getting set up?

  Snorkels have built in air. You can see the yellow tank in the bottom pic.

  The guys in the snorkel were not wearing their masks

  Does anyone know for sure….The snorkel comes with it’s own breathing air system, are the masks that hook into the system in some sort of box in the basket or do the ff’s have to bring them with them?

  How are they going to whine about getting cancer and take good, soot covered action shots if they’re following Chicago’s non-existant procedure of wearing masks in the Snorkel basket?

  I thought breathing in couch cushions and plastic toy smoke was good for you?
