Safety. Simplicity. Reliability.

MSA’s FireHawk™ Air Mask is the premier

self-contained breathing apparatus for the

municipal fire service. Designed with the input of hundreds of firefighters, and including a multitude of MSA’s exclusive features, the new FireHawk Air Mask truly embodies Safety, Simplicity, and Reliability.

Safety

Understanding that "protecting the protector" has

been our calling for 90 years, MSA works hard to

provide firefighters with the most safety features

available on any SCBA. Listed here are just a few

of them:

MSA’s patented Quick-Fill® System makes every

MSA SCBA capable of both receiving and

donating air to firefighters in need. Although

the NFPA standard requires all brands of SCBA

to incorporate a receive-only RIC connection,

only the MSA Air Mask can make full utilization

of the fitting with our exclusive transfilling

capability.

  

An NFPA-compliant emergency egress system,

integral to the SCBA waist belt, is available as

an option. This Rescue Belt comes complete

with Kevlar line (50 ft. or 75 ft.) and rappelling

hardware.

 

The all new Airframe™ carrier and harness

comes standard, with large side handles and a central attachment point for pulling firefighters

to safety in rescue scenarios.

MSA’s Ultra Elite® Facepiece is designed with a

 

one-way check valve to prevent against cross-contamination among firefighters.

Although regulators are shared among users,

harmful pathogens (SARS, hepatitis, flu virus)

are kept within each individual-issue facepiece.

 

Wireless electronics add safety benefits by eliminating snag hazards that can accompany unnecessary wires on an SCBA.

  

CBRN positive protection is provided by MSA’s exclusive Tetraplex™ shield, which serves as the first line of defense in preventing chemical

warfare agents from initial contact with the

critically important second-stage diaphragm.

A new flow-control cylinder valve reduces

the propulsive thrust of cylinders if they are

accidentally opened without proper restraint.

A buddy light on the ICM Tx lets fellow

firefighters easily identify a firefighter that

is in need of assistance. An additional light,

located on the HUD Receiver, lets others know

when you are low on air, reinforcing the

distinct communication of the Audi-Larm®

warning device.

The Heads-Up Display has an automatic

dimming feature in low ambient light to protect

the visibility of firefighters.
