消防员致电五月天的原因之一是因为出境的紧急情况。由五月二十五年的百分之十五项目五月日研究研究是因为空中问题。幸运的是，消防服务已经开发了技术帮助。快速干预队（RIT）空气包旨在解决这种危及生命的情况。你准备好回应遇险的消防员吗？
Put yourself in this scenario: You are assigned as the RIT air pack firefighter on a RIT standing by at a building fire. A collapse has occurred, trapping a member inside. A Mayday call has been sounded and your team has been given the go ahead to rescue the trapped member. Already using up some of his air cylinder, the stress of the situation is causing the trapped member to increase his breathing rate, sucking down his air supply. It takes a few minutes to reach the member in trouble. His low-air alarm is sounding. Are you ready? This very situation occurred in May of 2013 in Houston, Texas. Read the report on this daring rescue这里（额外注意“第9节”救援“）。

现在，把自己放在这种情况下：挑选一个消防员去他的全齿轮和独立的呼吸器（SCBA）。如果可能的话，在低空气警报听起来时清空空气供应。让他在消防队中“隐藏”。你和另一个成员们唐你的全装备，Scba用迷人的脸部碎片，抓住了射流空气包。你的表现为rit。当隐藏成员通过警报声时，继续找到他。一旦您找到“陷入困境的成员”，将挂机空气包连接并修复空中紧急情况。准备好？走！！
这是一个高风险，低频事件，在全国各地的火场上继续发生。它可能会发生在你的下一个火上。请练习这个重要的技能并准备好。别忘了发送你和你的船员的图片/视频，执行这个钻头/技能mayday .monday@dc.gov.。
