Title: Describe the need for ventilation at a fire scene.
Course: Firefighting I (15152-I) > Section: Understanding Ventilation

Description should include

- understanding the impact of ventilation of flow path
- coordinating with fire attack
- explaining how ventilation
- promotes rescue operations
- provides a means for fire attack and extinguishment
- conserves property
- controls fire spread
- reduces flashover potential
- reduces backdraft potential
- enhances survivability.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What thermodynamic mechanism affects ventilation?
- How does ventilation reduce the potential for flashover or backdraft?
- How can ventilation aid in property conservation?
