September 21, 2025
MSA Safety, Inc. has secured a $10 million contract to provide respiratory protective equipment to the Orange County Fire Authority in Southern California. This award further strengthens MSA's breathing apparatus market presence in the region, building on previous contracts with the Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City Fire Departments. The Orange County Fire Authority's decision to select MSA's G1 SCBA was based on its advanced technology, connectivity features, and the ability to upgrade the apparatus with new technologies. The G1 SCBA is a central component of the MSA Connected Firefighter platform, which enhances firefighter monitoring, accountability, and communication. Key features of the G1 SCBA include embedded technology that transmits critical data, such as cylinder air pressure and battery status, to incident commanders via MSA's FireGrid system. The system also incorporates an integrated thermal imaging camera, providing individual firefighters with vital situational awareness. Delivery of the new SCBA units is expected to be completed in 2025. The content on BeyondSPX is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial or investment advice.
