On what is being touted as India's
largest positive-pressure ventilator, a 60-inch fan produces 2,000 revolutions
a min, releases mist to enable firemen to get to source of fire
Intense heat of 850 degrees kept
firefighters from entering the building when fire broke out at Manan Motors on
Vijay Crossroads recently.
When several attempts failed, they
brought out the big gun a positive-pressure ventilator with a 60-inch fan
that was so strong that it blew away smoke, enabling firefighters to reach the
source of fire and extinguish it. Ahmedabad Fire and Emergency Service
officials claim it is India's largest blower fan one they have built out of
scrap.
