   I have a whole house fan as well as central air and use the fan on any summer   
   night when the humidity is low.  We love it.  But I'm ashamed to admit that it   
   never occurred to  me that a whole house fan and a fire are bad news when   
   running together.  Ever    
   fan a flame to increase the  heat?  That's what moving air does, and our fan   
   moves so much air it will slam doors to the point where we  have to block   
   bedroom doors open lest we awakened by a chorus of doors slamming (once one   
   goes, the rest follow).   
      
   I am going to tie our central detectors to the fan to shut it down when a fire   
   is detected.  I'm glad the OP asked this question.
