Title: Gasoline Ventilation Fan
Post by: FireChief on August 25, 2009, 00:23:51

Squad 3 received a new piece of kit, a gasoline powered ventilation fan. This fan will be used during firefighting operations to remove smoke by adding fresh air into the structure, a positive pressure fan. The new German ladder truck has one of these assigned to it, but the guys over here couldn't wait.

I made the fan to look like a "Tempest" Gasoline Fan.

I had to move some equipment around, but I was able to fit it in one of the compartments.

Alright, that's all for now. I will have some pictures of the fan in use up soon.

I hope everyone likes it.

A very neat and effective custom, Ben, and a very useful addition to your already comprehensive range of equipment.

Or for drying your hair ...  :yup:

Indeed a nice work. And better to transport than the new original one from PM.

Hello Ben,

Its great to see you are starting to make custom rescue equipment for your fire service and a fine job your doing too :wave:. I allways look forward to seeing what your going to come up with next. As I said in my other post I have been working on a few ideas that you might find interesting, your more than welcome to copy them if you think they would be suitable. I just need to find some spare time to take the pictures.

Tim  :wave:

Practical, yet creative. Looks like a cart (¿blowtorch cart, if I’m not mistaken?) with a bit of sewage grating and a lawnmower engine. ¿How far off am I here?

You almost hit it right on the nose, Andy! I did use the welding cart, the grate is from the black BBQ grill and yes, that is most certainly the lawnmower engine. The red part is cut from a 55 gallon drum... Thanks for looking at the detail of it, bud.  ;D

Bill, and Jimbo, thanks for the comments, just as always they are appreciated.

Tim, It's good to hear from you again. Thanks for the comments. I'm looking forward to seeing you're equipment.

Love that fan Ben, I saw it in your photo story and thought how cool it looked and what set it was from, I wish I had bought more of those BBQ sets.
