Positive pressure ventilation fan in use

Footage of a house fire in St Neots where the new positive pressure ventilation fan was in use. The PPV fan is a new piece of equipment Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service has included on the new Rescue Pumps stationed around the county.

If only it were correct
There would be a collar Sealing from the fan to the front door
And all the windows would be open
Then installing a fan makes more sense

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

why would you want to do this?

[@CambsFireRescue]

The fans are used once a fire is fully extinguished. It helps to clear the smoke quickly and reduce damage to the property.

Those are different looking helmets then the ones worn in North America.

+Shaine MacDonald That's because it's in England. Out of interest how do they differ?

[@TiberiusStorm]

Jack Bauer Yes I'm aware! Just Google it. The ones in Canada and the states look similar. Ours don't go all the way down the back like those ones.

They don’t look competent in positive pressure ventilation techniques.
