What is a positive pressure fan
By creating controlled overpressure, the fan pushes clean air into safe zones and forces contaminated air out, improving visibility and safety for both firefighters and civilians.
It is particularly effective in confined or complex structures, stairwells, and areas with headwinds, allowing fire crews to maintain a safe environment while performing rescue operations.
