3 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department3 Ventilation The systematic removal and replacement of heated air, smoke, and gasses from a structure with cooler air.

4 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department4 Ventilation From the earliest time, man has recognized that heated air, gases, and smoke rise.

13 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department13 Ventilation Advantages an effects of ventilation. Rescue Operations Fire Attack Property Conservation Fire Spread Reduction of Flashover Potential Reduction of Backdraft Potential

14 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department14 Ventilation Saving Lives –Aiding rescue operations –Reducing Flashover Potential –Reducing Backdraft Potential Suppressing Fire –aiding attack and extinguishment –Controlling fire spread Reducing Damage –Enabling property conservation

15 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department15 Ventilation Effects Defiantly visibility Cooler Air Fresh Air Control of the Fire

16 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department16 Ventilation Dangers & Precautions

17 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department17 Ventilation Backdraft When sufficient heat is confined in an area, the temperature of combustible materials rise to their ignition points. These materials will not ignite. However, unless sufficient oxygen is available to support combustion. In this situation, a very dangerous condition exists because the admittance of an air supply is all that is needed to explosively change the superheated area into an instant inferno.

22 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department22 Ventilation What life safety hazards are likely to be found in an unventilated burning structure in which smoke and gases have accumulated? Obscurity caused by dense smoke Presence of toxic gases Lack of oxygen Presence of flammable gases

23 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department23 Ventilation Danger of Backdraft Danger of Flahover and Rollover

24 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department24 Ventilation What building factors aid the firefighter in determining whether to use horizontal or vertical ventilation? Building type and design Number and size of wall openings Number of stories

25 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department25 Ventilation Number of staircases, shafts, dumbwaiters, ducts, roof openings Availability of exterior fire escape Exposure involvement.

28 7/2/2015Dixon High School Fire Department28 Ventilation Problems with windowless buildings. –Adversely affect fire fighting and ventilation ops. –Ventilation may by delayed, allowing the fire to gain headway or to create backdraft conditions. –Usually require mechanical ventilation for smoke removal. –May be able to use mechanical ventilation and built-in ventilation systems.
