Where are the Buddy Lights on the SCBA unit located?

The Buddy Lights on the SCBA unit are located on the back frame above the Piezo speakers. This placement is specifically designed to enhance visibility to team members in the field. When a firefighter activates their Buddy Light, it provides a clear visual signal to other firefighters who may be in the vicinity, indicating the status of the user's air supply or the need for assistance.

The rear positioning of the Buddy Lights allows for easy visibility to other team members while ensuring that the lights do not obstruct the user's movements or operational efficiency. This functional design enhances safety during operations, reinforcing the importance of teamwork and communication among firefighters in hazardous environments.

In contrast, other locations such as the front of the air tank, on the side of the helmet, or near the control panel are not suitable for the Buddy Lights, as they would either obstruct usage or not serve the primary purpose of visibility for team communication.
