| breathing apparatus | Explanation:
They're not using the air for damping down, but damping down while wearing their breathing apparatus. 'Met ademlucht' in this connection is a synedochic reference to the breathing apparatus.
-> "Update 2240hrs: The fire has now been brought under control. Fire crews wearing breathing apparatus continue to damp down."
