Course Description
Ventilation is the systematic removal of super-heated gases and product of combustion. This coordinated process replaces these products of combustion with cooler air and lifts toxic gases making a more viable environment for firefighters and victims. However, when improperly applied it can result in extreme fire growth and rapidly deteriorating conditions. In order for ventilation to be effective flow path effects, and all safety considerations should be strictly understood. The type of ventilation should be strategy selected based off of conditions present and knowledge of ventilation types. Many line of duty death contributing factors have been attributed to the effects from ventilation at the fire scene. Although a very effective tactic, firefighters must be sure that they have a thorough knowledge of the process and the effects it will have. This course offers 4 CE hours covering reasons for tactical ventilation, considerations affecting ventilation decisions, types of tactical ventilation, and how building systems effect tactical ventilation. This course offers an interactive practice session and a module quiz based off IFSTA Essentials of Firefighting 7th edition. This course satisfies: NFPA 1001 4.3.11, 4.3.12, 4.5.1
