- Abstract
- This DVD set includes a presentation vidoe that explains Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV), examines the results of NIST's PPV research and closes with a focus on the use of PPV tactics in high-rise buildings. All of the NIST PPV reports referenced in the presentation are included on Disc 1. All of the videos from the high-rise fire experiments are also provided with user-friendly, graphic menu that can be used on a PC or a DVD player. NIST, with support from USFA, DHS and fire departments across the country, has taken engineeing principles and applied then to fire service PPV tactice in order to improve fire fighter safety.
