 Dear FireRescue1 Member,

Done right, vertical ventilation can clear dangerous smoke and keep victims alive; done wrong, it will exacerbate fire conditions. In this month's eNews, we cover the steps to a successful tactical ventilation. We also detail how to set up a PPE field test to ensure that your next PPE purchase is a good one.

Lastly, be sure to check out the story of how a firefighter survived an on-duty "widow-maker" and those who saved him.
