Fire and Rescue Applications

Fire departments around the world use the Tempest Power Blower for a technique called Positive Pressure Ventilation (also known as PPV). PPV is applied to remove smoke, heat, gases from the interior of a burning structure.

By removing the hostile interior environment, it is easier and safer for fire fighters to enter the structure, locate victims and extinguish the fire. Since 1987, Tempest has played an important role in helping PPV become an accepted ventilation technique with fire departments around the world.

To learn more about PPV and how it helps to increase firefighter safety, visit the PPV section of our web site. If you need help deciding which PPV blower is right for you, contact your local Tempest dealer or our Customer Service department.
