![]() Vertical ventilation with backdraft conditions is literally the only safe option in regards to ventilation. Do not be afraid to use vertical ventilation. Ventilate to protect your crews and make their job safer. Ventilate to save the lives of the occupants. Ventilate when conditions call for it.The division officer should always have relief crews or replacement crews staged in their division area. If crews are not needed for VEIS, assign them to a division officer. And even they can assist in VEIS by softening the building. The only crew that should be staged is your rapid-intervention team (RIT). This can complement the interior search as well. If an incident comes in with people trapped, use multiple crews to initiate VEIS. ![]() ![]()
