San Diego Fire-Rescue receives 80 multi-gas detectors from SDG&E [Breaking]
San Diego Fire-Rescue stations have received 80 multi-gas detectors, donated by San Diego Gas & Electric, to monitor the atmosphere when crews respond to calls at scenes where potentially volatile gases may be present.
“To be very rudimentary, right now our folks go into those emergencies and the only thing they have is their nose,” said Fire Chief Colin Stowell of San Diego Fire-Rescue. “Now they can walk in with these detectors, sense if there is a rip there and start to alert the residents or call for additional resources to mitigate that emergency.”, the handheld devices can measure the levels of oxygen, combustibles, carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds.
Stowell said prior to the donation, Fire-Rescue had only a limited number of multi-gas detectors and unlike the new MPower devices, they were not state-of-the-art.
