I'm not at work but I have an excellent clip from FR1. It shows a PPV fan being started and left in the back door. The crew then takes their sweet a** time flaking the hose, getting tools, etc, before making entry. Meanwhile the flame is being fed and pushed out of the front window and into the soffits, where it extends into the attic. This cluster goes from a possible save to a complete looser (Good work men, we saved the foundation) in about 4 minutes. While being filmed by the home owner, no doubt.
This stuff is what gives PPV a bad name. Immediate, coordinated attack in conjunction with vertical or horizontal ventilation.
I’ll cut the URL from the clip and send it to you when I get in.

If you would rather want to show how to use PPV correctly you should look into the PPV research NIST did, DVD's are available for free!
