October 8, 2012 Wixom Fire Department Michigan. Positive Pressure Ventilation with RAMFAN Ventilators and the use of Thermal Imaging with PPV. Photos and Video uploaded HERE

In recent days of live burn training.  I found that the demonstration hood that I've had on loan from First Response Protection had tremendous benefits in protecting my ears and my neck from not only intense ambiance heat but also direct fire that we were affected by as we created flashovers while testing thermal imagers. - Hats off to Captain Jim Hoods for Firefighter Safety.
