in this link, I was reading the last paragraph and collided with this :
"Some of the Gases Detected by some of the above detectors include
Ammonia
It is likely that this vendor doesn't have a chemist on staff reviewing what the sales department puts on the website -- it becomes really obvious when I see things like "fluorine hydrogen", and carbon monoxide three times.

6 Healthcare Dividend Stocks For A Healthy Portfolio

In addition to death and taxes, we can add one more sure thing: Until death, our bodies will continue to age and need more attention . As I am approaching 50 this is becoming more of a reality to me. I take little comfort in knowing that there are millions of other people in the same situation. However, from an investing standpoint, it does provide an opportunity.
As each year passes, we will need more medical services, devices and medications. Sometimes the medical product or service that meets our needs will provide a better quality of life, and often they are life sustaining. We rely on companies in the Healthcare Sector to supply the medical needs of our population.
The above link will take you to a fire from the City of Detroit. It shows a wind-driven fire and a crew climbing a ground ladder to a roof section to apply exterior lines. Now we could analyze the tactical benefits, and things of that nature all day, but what I really want to focus on is the guy (I think a company officer) masking up on the roof section.
First a little background. When I first go into the fire department at the ripe old age of 15 we have the old style belt mounted regulator MSA air packs with the “elephant tube”. In my early SCBA instruction I was told to never…..NEVER mask up in the rig. It affected size up, the mask fogged up, it would lead to early fatigue, and would obscure perifial vision.
When I was hired in my second career department, I was told that masking up in the rig was an expectation. When we arrived there was to be no delay in the start of fire fighting operations, and with the MSA mask mounted regulators, your regulator could hang in the track on the mask and clipped in when you needed to go on air, and unclipped when ambient air was appropriate.
So having been on both sides of instruction and theories I can say with honest assessment I think they were both right. With the technology that was available prior to me joining the fire service and even at the beginning of my career I can understand why one would elect to mask up in the front yard, or floor below the fire. However with the current technology that exists (Ultra view face piece, MMR, heads up displays, voice amplifiers, etc.) I think masking up in the rig is the way to go.
