Rules of Air Management • You should be out of the hazardous environment before your low-air warning bell begins to ring. Using the low-air warning bell as a signal to exit the hazardous environment is a recipe for disaster. • We want the low-air warning bell to be an emergency alarm, not the false alarm it is today on the U.S. fireground. • Exiting the hazardous atmosphere before the low-air warning bell begins to ring is central to the Rule of Air Management.
