This class taught proven methods for safely and effectively putting positive pressure attack into operation. Footage from decades of using fans for ventilating fire structures is utilized to demonstrate the principles presented. The premise is that firefighter safety and victim survivability necessitate controlling the fire environment, and PPA is a method by which to do so.
“I’ve never seen a firefighter fall through a flowerbed.” ~ Chief Garcia, contrasting vertical ventilation and PPA.
This presentation was delivered by Fire Chief Kriss Garcia and moderated by Fire Chief Bobby Halton. Kriss Garcia served on the fire fighter panel for the UL FSRI PPV Study. Any questions on PPA may be sent to Ventry Solutions, and our in-house PPA expert, James Neils, will respond.
