FSRI Hosts PPA-PPV Testing Visitor Day in Northbrook, IL

Positive Pressure Ventilation Technical Panel Selected

April 16, 2016

We would like to thank the over 120 firefighters that submitted an application to serve on the technical panel for the “Study of the Effectiveness of Fire Service Positive Pressure Ventilation During Fire Attack in Single Family Homes Incorporating Modern Construction Practices.”

Everyone that applied was highly qualified and very passionate which made the selection process very difficult. Members were selected based on fire service experience, geography, department size, and experience with PPV. The individuals on the list below were selected and will be notified with additional information next week. Additional input and guidance for this project will also be provided by UL’s Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) Advisory Group.
