Discontinue Pressurization by throttling down fans to idle, and closing the door to the stairwell that the fan is pressurizing.
IC must be notified when the fans have been deactivated and the stairwell doors are secured.

140
Q

What is the priority order for the use of PPFs?

A
  1. pressurizing the ATTACK Stairwell to support the fire attack, by controlling smoke condition at the attack stair doorway and throughout the attack stairway

  3. Ventilating the public hallways for smoke and CO control
141
Q

Pressurization of the attack stairway is most effective if:

done Simultaneously with the fire attack

142

10

40

147
Q

148
Q

149
Q

PPF

When units are committed on the fire floor:

A
  • PPF shall begin pressurization on the ground floor
  • fire floor stairwell door should be closed as much as possible and still allow handline access

A

remain in position at the stairwell door AT ALL TIMES

151
Q

Placement of the fan for sequential ventilation shall be:

A

on the EXTERIOR of the building with Exhaust Hoses in place.
the goal of sequential ventilation is to replace the smoke and CO in the building with fresh air.
*placement of a gas powered fan inside a building during sequential ventilation would negate the benefits of the operation.

152
Q

What is the process for sequential ventilation?

A
  • confirm that the attack stairwell is clear of members and civilians
  • Bulkhead should be opened in the attack stairwell. All other doors in the attack stairwell should remain closed. Evacuation stairwell bulkhead remains Closed.
  • Opening the stairwell door on the fire floor, both in the attack and evacuation stairwells will cross-vent the fire floor, by removing contaminated smoke from the fire building via attack stairwell.
  • This ventilation can be carried out floor by floor if smoke or CO contamination occurs on multiple floors. Start at the Lowest point and work towards the Top.
153
Q

If CO levels are in the 0 to 60 ppm range:

A

gas powered PPFs will NOT significantly reduce those levels due to the CO emissions produced by the fans

154
Q

Positive Pressure Mechanical Ventilation of Large Structures/Areas
An inlet should be found opposite this exhaust opening that would allow the fans to push fresh air into the structure. The fans have to make a seal at the inlet.

A

The fan will be set Farther back then the 4 to 6 feet used when pressurizing stairwells.
The angle of the fan shroud WILL REMAIN AT 80 Degrees.
a rule of thumb is that the exhaust opening should be double the size of the opening where the PPF is placed

A

5 Times More Air than our 16” electric box fan

A

75% more efficient than negative pressue ventilation

158
Q

The fan shall be operated in the exhaust mode to remove the contaminated air from the involved structure.

159
Q

To maximize the efficiency of the negative pressure box fans:

A

the box fan should be hung in a window or doorway AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE

160
Q
