Back in the days of my firefighting/HAZMAT we used to drill like this on a regular basis. We would even do it in a dark room if we could not smoke the room. Rescue, and proper application of a B Kit on a One-Ton Cylinder is just over 1:30 is a sign these guys have done this a few times!

Yep, it was my reference to 1910.120(q)(3)(iv)...
