Q

TRAINING BULLETINS - SEARCH

What is ventilation for extinguishment?

A

Ventilation point (removing a window) is made to the fire area as the engine commences applying water into the fire area.

  • opened window is an exhaust ventilation point and potential flow path for the higher air pressure from the fire area.
  • vent points (windows) should be in close proximity to the seat of the fire.
  • windows should be opposite the operating hoseline, which will allow a flow path for steam, heat and smoke to exit the structure ahead of the nozzle team.

This may also indicate that a window has failed and that wind is forcing the fire toward the occupancy entry door. The Company Officer shall contact the exterior team for their size-up if it has not been communicated. Evaluate the interior and exterior size-up and determine if an alternate means of attack and access to the fire area is necessary.
