The protection factor for a pressure-demand self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) typically ranges from 10,000 to 100,000, depending on the specific model and conditions of use. This high protection factor indicates that the SCBA can effectively filter out contaminants in the air, providing a safe breathing environment for the user in hazardous situations. The performance may vary based on factors such as fit, maintenance, and the presence of leaks.

Which type of fire extinguisher should avoid in confined space?

Unless you are equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), you should avoid using fire extinguishers that displace the breathable oxygen, generate other asphyxiants or otherwise implicate your ability to breathe. If you do not have SCBA and vapor-barrier protection (e.g., structural or aircraft firefighter turnout suit) and you should avoid using water-based extinguishers that can turn into 20,000 times more steam.
