I was listening to the update from one of the local 2-way operated buff groups that was working this job, and I wanted to go to it so bad, but couldn't, my camera's battery was still charging.
"Don't train until you get it right, train until you CAN'T get it wrong."
A firefighter is not a hero. Firefighting isn't heroic, it's just another everyday job, only this job our lives, and someone else's life and property are at stake. We fight what others fear it's as simple as that. I didn't join the department just...
Some of the guys in the company calls the squad/engine plainly "The Squad" however our foam unit is known all around the dept, and some mutual aid depts as "Bubbles"

Anyway, The 100' stick can be a bit intimidating at first, cant it? Best advice I have for you is just to keep climbing it man. Climb it as every chance you get. Learn every detail you can about the truck. Learn all the specs about what that ladder can really do. When you realize how many amazing things they can do, you will prolly have more confidence in it. As far as your footing goes, Just make sure you always have 3 limbs on the ladder. That way, even if you lose your footing, you will be alright for a lil bit. If you are working off that ladder for anyreason for an extended period of time, Lock your leg in on the rung. That will give you a sure footing no matter what. If you havnt done so already, Try this on a regular ground ladder, Climb up bout half way, lock your leg in, let go and lean back as far as you can. It gives you alot of confidence when you realize you wont go anywhere. Stay safe Brother

Answer A
When you are having to advance a hose-line up a ladder, it should be carried up the ladder from the left side, with the nozzle draped over your shoulder, and uncharged. If the line is accidentally charged, there is less of a chance the h...
