Positive Pressure Attack
is changing the way
firefighters fight fire!
Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) was first used in the fire service to ventilate structures after the fire was knocked down. Positive Pressure Attack (PPA) takes PPV a step further to achieve effective ventilation during fire attack. It is another tactic that, properly used, can make life better for firefighters and those we are sworn to protect.
As with any fireground operation, PPA requires training and education to be performed safely and effectively. PositivePressureAttack.com is dedicated to providing information and resources about the use of positive pressure on the fireground. It is a work in progress, and will evolve and grow.
