Vollmaske oder Halbmaske
It appears to me that you already know what an SCBA is. It is a Self contained open-circuit Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus. It seems that you want to know what the mask part is called. There seem to be two types, a "Vollmaske" or "Halbmaske". For fire fighting, probably only the Vollmaske would be much help. This site gives quite a bit of information about these devices in English and German.

self-contained breathing apparatus = Atemgerät
This reminded my of Scuba (as in diving), and I remembered that Scuba is actually an abbreviation for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus [cf. Ernst].
Drop the u for underwater, and you have SCBA
Ernst gives Unterwasser-Atemgerät for Scuba. Again, drop the underwater aspect, and there you are. It seems to fit perfectly into the context you give.
HTH!

SCUBA Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus
SCUBA: Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus is how this term is normally seen in the literature. So we are either dealing with a typo or Self Contained Breathing Apparatus is what is meant here, implying that the device is not being used underwater.
SCUBA is the term used for diving gear: face mask, air tanks, hoses, regulator

frei tragbares Isoliergerät
Maybe a surprise, but that's the translation of self-contained breathing apparatus in EN 135 "Respiratory protective devices - list of equivalent terms" which contains terms in English and German.
