Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) Tactics
An article about Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) Tactics. Improving firefighter safety is an ongoing effort for the fire service. A series of fire experiments were conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Building and Fire Research Laboratory to better understand the effectiveness of using fans at different locations to reduce the temperature in stairwells, corridors, room of origin, etc.

Positive Pressure Ventilation
An article about the basic principle behind positive pressure ventilation. It is using a fan to move air from the exterior of the structure and forcing it into the interior. This action increases the air pressure on the interior to a level greater than the exterior. As a result, smoke and heated gases are forced out of the structure through any vents available. This process creates a path of moving air that follows the path of least resistance and travels from the fan to the vent.

Positive Pressure Ventilation
An article about positive pressure. It is a pressure within a system that is greater than the environment that surrounds that system. Consequently if there is any leak from the positively pressured system it will egress into the surrounding environment.
