Bangin Ladders: Ideally, every firefighter on the fireground should have a good working knowledge of the basic Firefighter Skills and Rescue techniques. Along with this, they should also have a deep personal appreciation for the importance of knowing how to use tools correctly. This class is an in depth look at ladders specifically and need to understand them in a way that most don’t “look” at. This class will discuss the construction (some things you may never have known) and when, where, and why we must deploy ladders at structure fires. Today’s fire service, can be plagued with limited manpower and ladder placement is often an afterthought, you will see during this course that ladder deployment can be completed with very limited manpower. You will walk away with a whole new look at ladders. This class is hands on and can be physically demanding. Ladder data, throws carries and uses will all be covered including (when applicable) ladder bailouts from a second story.  PPE is required.
