NFPA 1001 Ventilation
Ventilation is the practice of opening parts of a structure in order to remove heat, smoke, and toxic gases, replacing these combustion products with cooler air. Proper ventilation leads to better visibility, lower temperatures, the reduced possibility of flashover, and reduces smoke damage to the affected property. Additional advantages of ventilation include the easier rescue of victims and increased ability to attack the fire. Ventilation requires full personal protective equipment and should not be attempted without qualified training. There are several different types of ventilation, and this course will examine each of those briefly.
