Which component of personnel accountability does the SCBA tag system focus on?

The SCBA tag system is designed primarily to monitor and manage the air supply of firefighters while they are engaged in active firefighting operations. When personnel enter a hazardous environment equipped with a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), the tagging system helps track air pressure levels, which directly correlates with the time of entry and exit for each individual. This information is critical, as it allows incident commanders to understand how much air is available to each firefighter and to ensure that personnel exit the hazardous area before their air supply is depleted.

This focus on air pressure and time management enhances personnel accountability, as it helps ensure that firefighters do not exceed their safe operational limits, thereby safeguarding their health and safety during firefighting missions.
