The G1 City Edition is designed specifically to enhance search and rescue capabilities for firefighters, giving them a lighter weight and more comfortable G1 SCBA design.
Also introduced is integrated LUNAR Beacon Technology, allowing for a LUNAR Connected Device to search for and locate firefighters wearing the G1 City Edition SCBA - a combination that enhances accountability and supports rapid intervention and rescue operations.
This new apparatus is at the forefront of firefighter safety technology, combining a lighter design and enhancements that have been engineered for fire departments to improve rescue efforts and operational effectiveness.
Highlights include:
Integrated LUNAR® Beacon Technology enables LUNAR Connected Devices to locate firefighters wearing a G1 City Edition SCBA during search-and-rescue operations.
Reduced weight and enhanced ergonomics, including up to a half-pound weight reduction and a lighter cylinder retention system designed to help reduce fatigue.
Firefighter-informed design enhancements developed through years of direct feedback to improve comfort, usability and operational effectiveness.
Enhanced situational awareness through integration with the LUNAR search network, thermal imaging and FireGrid® ecosystem connectivity.
Improved fit, cleaning and maintenance features designed to support daily use and long-term performance.
NFPA 1970 compliant, meeting the 2025 edition of the performance standard.
Steve Blanco, MSA Safety President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "Firefighters tell us that accountability and the ability to locate personnel quickly during emergency situations are among their highest priorities.
"The G1 City Edition SCBA was designed to address those needs while enabling departments to integrate connected technologies into their operations. As the fire service evolves, we bring new safety solutions to market that meet our customers’ needs while advancing our mission of helping firefighters return home safely after their calls.”
The G1 City Edition builds on elements that have made the G1 platform a trusted choice for fire departments for over 10 years, namely the advanced electronics and integrated design.
Powered by a single rechargeable battery, the system includes integrated telemetry capabilities and supports connectivity across the expanding MSA FireGrid ecosystem.
The G1 City Edition also meets the requirements of the 2025 edition of NFPA 1970 (1981 & 1982), which is the performance standard for structural and proximity firefighting.
