Your absolutly right. Firefighters should'nt take off their masks/regulators until the rooms have been metered. The by products of combustion ( CO hydrogen cyanide,hydrogen chloride and acrolein) are present long after the fire is out. Ventilation a must! Post your Question on The best way to teach air management, more people would reply to your answer.

I saw a product that was used by firefighters to keep from getting lost in a structure, it was a compass for firefighters to use, but now I can not find it anywhere, does anyone know or has anyone heard of this, Please let me know or send me the web site.
TKS, and Good Nite
Have a safe and uneventful weekend,
