Description:

Tempest VS1.3 Milwaukee Battery-Powered Firefighter Ventilation Fan

The Tempest VS1.3 Milwaukee Battery-Powered Fan is a compact positive pressure ventilation (PPV) fan designed for smoke removal, interior ventilation, and confined-space airflow during fireground operations. Powered by MILWAUKEE® M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ batteries, it supports cordless deployment with extended runtime or continuous operation using shore power.

Built for Fireground Ventilation

Battery-powered PPV fans are commonly used by fire departments for rapid smoke removal and airflow control during interior operations and overhaul. The VS1.3 provides high airflow output in a compact frame designed for quick deployment and easy transport.

High Airflow Performance

The VS1.3 delivers up to 9,614 CFM airflow, using a composite impeller and tapered steel shroud to move air efficiently. This airflow supports positive pressure ventilation in residential, commercial, and confined-space environments.

A thin-vane air straightener grill helps direct airflow into a focused stream for improved smoke movement and visibility.

Extended Battery Runtime

The fan operates using MILWAUKEE® M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ HD12.0 batteries, supporting configurations from one to three batteries.

• Approx. 65-minute runtime at full speed
• Removable battery system for quick swaps during extended operations
• Designed for departments already using Milwaukee battery platforms

Shore Power for Continuous Operation

Shore power capability is built into the unit, allowing the fan to run continuously when connected to an external power source. This supports long-duration ventilation and station-based use without relying solely on battery power.

Compact and Mobile Design

With a footprint of approximately 23.75" L x 25" H x 15.25" D, the VS1.3 is designed for apparatus storage and transport.

The ergonomic frame with transverse wheels supports stability, maneuverability, and positioning during operation.

Visibility in Low-Light Conditions

Integrated LED flow-path lighting provides visual guidance for airflow direction and fan placement in smoke-filled or low-light environments.
