SCBA Fire Fighter Helmet

SCBA, stands for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. A very important equipment for fire fighters to use in situation where it requires them to go in the fire. SCBA is worn through a mask that is under a Nomex hood(fire resistant hood) and the fire fighter helmet. The problem with the current system is that in order to remove the mask, it requires taking off the hood and helmet, which is not very time efficient. My design combine the helmet and the SCBA mask into a single unit, and fire fighters are able to remove the mask more easily.
