RAMFAN’s POWERSTREAM AIR STRAIGHTENING allows firefighters to set PPV fans back three to five times the standard distance necessary to clear smoke and ventilate buildings. The PowerStream is a tightly focused beam of air that allows firefighters to set their fans back between eight to 16 feet from a structure, depending on the size of the fan, the building, and the ventilation point. Thanks to the extended setback provided by the PowerStream, firefighters and other first responders have ample room to enter and exit a building to perform their duties and rescue victims. www.Euramcosafety.com.
