Ventilation
The systematic removal and replacement of heated air, smoke, and gasses from a structure with cooler air.

Ventilation
From the earliest time, man has recognized that heated air, gases, and smoke rise.

Ventilation
Types of Ventilation• Vertical ventilation• Horizontal Ventilation• Forced Ventilation
• Suppressing Fire– aiding attack and extinguishment– Controlling fire spread
• Reducing Damage– Enabling property conservation

Effects
• Defiantly visibility
• Cooler Air
• Fresh Air
• Control of the Fire

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.

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
04/19/23 Dixon High School Fire Department 23
Ventilation
• Danger of Backdraft
• Danger of Flahover and Rollover

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
04/19/23 Dixon High School Fire Department 25
Ventilation
• Number of staircases, shafts, dumbwaiters, ducts, roof openings
• Availability of exterior fire escape
• Exposure involvement.

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.
