Once water supply is adequate and suppression teams are in place ventilation is usually started. Some depts use ventilation as a way to locate the fire by providing oxygen to bring out the hidden hot spots. But generally ventilation are done at the same time.

Hello, im 16, in my sophmore year of high school, good grades, but i have absolutely no idea what i would have to do after high school in order to become a firefighter, im trying to get into the job ASAP (aiming to be a chief at most) any guidance?TY

Asked by T.J about 7 years ago

Well first and foremost it can take an entire career to possibly reach the level of Chief. Depenant on where you live can come into play. If there are volunteer or reserve fire depts in your area sign up. Consider Air Force in that they have firefighting positions. Expierence takes time to build. College will be neccessary to advance with degrees in fire service but more emphasis on business management.
