Repost from coffee_table_tactics • Vertical ventilation is the removal of superheated smoke and gases that are inside of a compartment. As ffcraftsmanship states, vertical ventilation is not a crime! Vertical ventilation needs to be coordinated with the hose crew inside to ensure interior crews are ready, and have lines in place. Coordinated vertical ventilation is just as important as the first line. When this hole was cut there were two interior lines extinguishing heavy fire conditions in most of the house, and crews were getting access into the attic. . . . #fire #firetruck #fireengine #fireman #firstdue #chiefmiller #trainyourprobie #fdny #ifyouaintfirstyourlast #fastwater #ventilation #hookandcan #firetraining #firetactics #extinguishment #firehouse #firedept #hosepull #hosestretch #coffeetabletactics #trainyourcrew #firerescue #firefitness #firefighterfitness #roof #fireground #chargetheline #firstresponder #forcibleentry
