Abstract

Systems and methods for purging smoke and other gasses from containers are provided. First portions of a coupling device are fixed to the containers and each define a first inner passageway. A second portion of the coupling device is configured for selective securement to any of the first portions to create a fluid passageway from an interior of the container, through the coupling device, to an ambient environment outside of the container. An airflow device may be fluidly connected to said second portion by ductwork.
