For FIRE/SMOKE/FUMES elimination, which system is used to provide oxygen on 100% for MSO1/MSO2?

Explanation:
During a fire, smoke, or fumes situation, MSOs must operate in an environment where breathable air is critical and contaminants are present. Providing 100% oxygen to MSO1 and MSO2 ensures they have a pure, high-oxygen supply regardless of the surrounding cabin air quality. This supports safe breathing, helps protect against hypoxia, and aids them in performing time-sensitive tasks like locating the source of smoke, controlling the affected area, and guiding others to safety. A diluted cabin oxygen level (50%) would not sustain them under smoke-filled conditions, and relying on portable oxygen for crew can run out or be delayed during critical moments. Having no oxygen system at all would be unsafe in a fire or smoke scenario.
