All, 4500 psi. It amazing, so many firefighters forget the basics. Worse than that why dont their company officers drill on this. One of the most important tools we use to do our job and some FF dont know this. Please share with all you can.

ElmiraCapt33, Should be able to download ift fairly easy. If anything just hook a laptop up to the net and a data projector and show the video. Or, copy the link and send to all your FF's to review. Then have a discussion followed by a practical evolution.

Chief, What size bottle did you use in this video? Was it a 2216 or a 4500 PSI bottle? Excellent video.

FireEagle27, Your are right on. There is so much more to RIT/RIC. I justed wanted to demonstrate how you can conserve your air. RIT/RIC Bag with quick connect are absolutely important.Practice makes perfect. Thanks for your comments. Ernie

Excellent informative video. One thing also worth mentioning is that any RIT worth it's salt should be carrying a rit bag with spare air... or at a minimum a spare pack. If your packs don't have a RIC connection or buddy breather, practice switching regulators or masks if needed. Air is what keeps us alive. Don't overlook the need to maintain an air supply in RIT operations.
