Asked by Jay almost 9 years ago

Are you planning on going into forestry firefighting?

I am wondering, how and when do you know when to vent a burning building? I see on you tube, Windows breaking, most popular vent, how do you know where and when to vent a building?

Once water supply is adequate and suppression teams are in place ventilation is usually started. Some depts use ventilation as a way to locate the fire by providing oxygen to bring out the hidden hot spots. But generally ventilation are done at the same time.
