Procedures and Fire Ground Practices
The procedures and Fire Ground Practices (FGPs) have been closely aligned between
the two MSA G1 models. During operations there is no difference when breathing air.
The differences relate to the lights and alarm sounds of the MSA G1 E BA. The MSA
G1 C and MSA G1 E remain interoperable and the procedures and processes are the
same.
