Summary

This report describes the conclusions of a programme of work on Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) undertaken by the Home Office Fire Experimental Unit. Following a survey of what was known about the tactic, a number of scenarios were investigated to try to identify any lessons which could be learnt which would be of use to the fire service. This report also seeks to combine the conclusions of the various studies to derive more general conclusions.
