I see too many Ladder Truck drivers that just get the piece
there and stand around doing nothing! The Ladder Truck driver should be working
as hard if not harder than the riders of the piece! With that being said…………
Did you take the best position possible, are all the points
of egress laddered, windows vented, opened and cleaned out with the ladder
to the sill, stick or boom to the roof or highest window egress, bars removed
from the windows, ladders to the roof
for secondary egress of vertical ventilation team? The Ladder Truck IS NOT a
retirement or hiding position, it’s a working position!
To all of those men and woman who do this already we
applaud you! To those of you who this apply to………..act accordingly and change
your ways!
