Tactical ventilation and cutting extinguishing method in shipboard firefightingAnders Trewe
Methods and Procedures including Positive Pressure Ventilation and Positive Pressure Attack on board Naval Vessels
A discussion on studies and practical results of the Royal Swedish Navy; onboard traditional mild steel naval vessels as well as light weight composite stealth vessels
Abstract
Tactical ventilation, both positive and negative pressure, has been used for at least two decades in civilian firefighting as an optional tool or method to clear out smoke and gain visibility, as well as mitigating hot fire gases to spread through the construction while fighting the fire.
Adding great volumes of air, under pressure, to a fire incident at sea might seem to be a dangerous and volatile venture. Is positive pressure ventilation a feasible method on board a ship, particularly on board a naval vessel? What precautions and preventive measures could or should be taken if applying positive pressure ventilation while shipboard firefighting? What other methods should be considered in combination with positive pressure ventilation in order to leverage the outcome?
Royal Swedish Navy has initiated tests and trials of combining various methods with the ambition to determine a short list of the most efficient and effective methods and method combinations. The Visby Stealth Corvette Class vessels are in addition engineered to provide dynamic ventilation solutions to various fire incident scenarios.

Emergency situations can occur unexpectedly at workplaces and come in many forms, from medical issues and natural disasters to fires and accidents. It is important for workplaces to plan for emergencies by assigning roles and evacuation procedures, training employees, and coordinating with emergency responders. During an emergency, employees should attempt to address the situation without endangering themselves, move to designated muster points to be accounted for, and await further instructions. Various alarms systems are used to indicate different emergency types and actions employees should take.

This document outlines the objectives and procedures for conducting live fire training evolutions as a structure fire control instructor. The instructor must demonstrate the ability to lead firefighters during various fire attacks, including one-room, two-rooms, above-grade, and below-grade fires. Key responsibilities include ensuring student and firefighter safety, monitoring fire conditions, and providing effective instruction and feedback. Common pitfalls like unsafe building conditions or harsh criticism of students must be avoided.
The document outlines the incident management system (IMS) used to manage live fire training evolutions. The IMS defines specific roles including the incident commander, safety officer, operations officer, logistics officer, exterior division officer, interior division officer, and student group leader. It describes the responsibilities of each role to ensure safety and effective management of the training operation. The overall goal of using the IMS is for the instructor to manage all participants involved in the live fire training evolution.
This document provides instruction on preparing an acquired structure for live fire training exercises. It outlines the necessary permits, notifications, planning, and safety procedures that must be completed before conducting burn evolutions. Key steps include obtaining owner documentation and burn permits, developing pre-burn plans, rendering the structure and site safe by addressing utilities, structural integrity hazards, and protecting exposures, and reviewing all permit and safety procedures have been addressed. The goal is to make the acquired structure safe for conducting live fire training simulations.
The document outlines the extensive documentation and procedures required by the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) when burning an acquired structure for fire training. It discusses the need for an asbestos inspection of the structure and removal of any asbestos found. It also describes the various forms and permits required, including permission to burn from EPD, a consent release form, proof of clear title, insurance cancellation, and a request to burn. Inspectors must inspect for safety and collect samples, and a burn permit must be obtained from Georgia Forestry at least 10 days prior.
