Did you know a firefighter's air tank is more than just an air tank? It also includes what's called the past device, and this will alarm after about 20 to 30 seconds of a firefighter being still. It'll alarm to notify other firefighters that their partner may need health or need to be rescued. The sound will grow in volume to make it easier to locate the down firefighter.
