Such a simple idea. Yet so powerful. Traditionally we have been taught to ventilate early and often. NOT ventilating a particular space, closing down rooms or delaying ventilation can sometimes be the best tactical ventilation plan. Closing down a room until lines are in place can mean the difference between saving a structure (and lives) and losing everything. Yet we still see examples of well meaning firefighters smashing windows and open up compartments without any thought to consequences.
