Page 12: How To Use Positive Pressure Ventilation
OSITIVE RESSURE ENTILATION HOW TO USE POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION PPV The Basics Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is a powerful tool for firefighting but, like a double-edged sword, it can cut both ways.

OSITIVE RESSURE ENTILATION Positive pressure is also very useful to pressurize areas of a structure to prevent or slow down fire spread into uninvolved areas. We stopped a fire in a 6 unit apartment building using this technique with three fans pressurizing the central foyer. We just opened the door to the apartments that we wanted pressurized. -
