Instructor Profile
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
I have been using and instructing Positive
Pressure Ventilation and Positive Pressure
Attack for over twenty years. I was first
introduced to PPV in 1986, began using the
concept after fire control. In 1989 I started
using it as an offensive attack tool (PPA). I
strongly believe that if used properly,
Positive Pressure Attack can have a
positive effect on Life Safety, on both
Firefighters and civilians.
