APPLICATION After incidents or when necessary, replace air/oxygen cylinder(s). OPERATIONAL POLICY The company officer is to report to the nearest depot or shop to replace used cylinders before returning to quarters. This practice will be followed regardless of the time of day or day of week. OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE This section intentionally left blank. PROCESS Fire Station Nos. 1, 3, 9, 11, and 18 are designated as air and oxygen cylinder satellite depots. Each of these depots has been equipped with twelve (12) 30-minute air cylinders, (2) 60-minute air cylinders, and six (6) oxygen cylinders. The Fresno Fire Department (Department) Air Shop will be the main supply depot for 30-minute air cylinders, 60-minute air cylinders, and oxygen cylinders in the event satellite depots have been depleted of supply or response to the Department Shop would allow for less out-of-district time than response to a satellite depot.

When the supply of full SCBA bottles and/or oxygen cylinders drops to 50 percent of normal inventory during business hours, the air room should be contacted at 621-4213. Should this level be reached outside of normal working hours, company officers are to wait until 0800 hours of the next normal working day to notify the air room or proceed to point 2. 2. If Operational needs occur after business hours and more than 50 percent of normal inventory of the SCBA bottles are empty , the respective battalion chief is to be notified for approval for the Department Shop or on-call Shop representative to respond. If approved by the battalion chief, the shop will respond and fill the empty bottles. Upon receipt of a message from a satellite depot that air and/or oxygen cylinders are needed, the appropriate Shop representative is to make immediate arrangements to deliver the needed cylinders to that depot. This is to be treated as a priority assignment. INFORMATION This section intentionally left blank. DEFINITIONS This section intentionally left blank.
