BLOWHARD FANS - BATTERY-POWERED FANS IN POLICE OPERATIONS

Tactical fans such as the BlowHard Squirt have long since ceased to be tools used only by the fire department. Police forces are also increasingly benefiting from this mobile, quiet, and powerful ventilation technology—especially during operations involving poor air quality, limited visibility, or increased danger. The BlowHard Squirt offers particular advantages in this regard: it is small, quick to deploy, and virtually silent – making it ideal for police requirements.

Possible areas of application in everyday police work: clearance, use of irritant gases, and air pollution control.

Irritant gases may be used during demonstrations, squatting, or other large-scale situations. In closed buildings, underground garages, or confined indoor spaces, it is crucial to disperse these gases quickly and in a targeted manner. The BlowHard Squirt ensures controlled airflow, improves visibility, and reduces health risks for emergency personnel and bystanders.

Example: Fires in road traffic – controlling smoke gases

In the event of vehicle fires, especially in tunnels, underpasses, or on multi-lane roads, smoke gases pose a serious danger to flowing traffic, following vehicles, and rescue workers. The police can use tactical fans to:

• Divert smoke sideways into the terrain or in the direction of the wind,
• Keep areas of operation clear, especially for rescue and safety purposes,
• Speed up the reopening of traffic once the danger has been brought under control.

This reduces visibility impairments and minimizes the risk of accidents, especially on busy roads or in bad weather.

Example: Evidence collection and forensic work

After fires or chemical incidents, targeted ventilation can improve conditions for evidence collection teams. Crime scenes can be entered more quickly and safely, the air is cleaned, and toxic substances are diluted without compromising evidence.

Example: Special forces operations

In access situations (SEK, MEK), the Squirt can be used tactically, for example to:

• Remove irritants after the use of flash grenades or CS gas
• Improve visibility in smoke-filled rooms
• Discreetly ventilate closed rooms before or after access.

Example: Support for mobile infrastructure

During prolonged situations or major events, police infrastructure is also affected. The Squirt helps to ventilate, cool, or remove odors from mobile command vehicles, prisoner containers, or temporary accommodations quickly, efficiently, and quietly.

BlowHard Fans: More control, more safety, more impact.

The BlowHard Squirt can be a valuable and versatile tool for the police. Whether in traffic fires, demonstrations, raids, or forensic operations, its mobility, quiet operation, and rapid deployment make it a real asset in complex situations. Compact, tactical, effective—also for police and special forces.
