Excellent video content! Apologies for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you thought about - Rozardner Lucky Interview Reality (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one off guide for firefighter interview tips without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.

Hi Matt. Great video, I am a vol Firefighter in the Dominican Republic and we really do not use ladders here, I have been trying to get them to understand how important it is, especially when a firefighter is in trouble, I can say that we do have one, but the chief is always lending it out to construction company's, the ladder was donated by Florida Fire, and it was new, now it is a mess with paint all over it, and most of the time, the rope is broke. There will be a day when they will really need it. And it just may be too late. I am doing what I can, but it is a different world, there ethics are very different, even in the hiring of firefighters, we have 3 new recruits, 18 and 19 years old, they have not been trained, they have been working for about 5 months, no programs, nothing. I have been butting heads with the chief about this for over 2 years, and still nothing, I guess they are waiting for something to happen before making any changes, its prevention, they have no clue, I am doing my best, but do not know how much longer I can continue like this, I cant take them by their hand when we have a fire, I have my own job todo, as they do not know what theirs is, a real shame. Thanks for your service, be safe.

Excellent training video! Dragging a ladder seems like a good way to destroy it, but it's better to destroy a ladder than to arrive at a rescue 5 seconds too late. A ladder mover might be the answer to the question that no one asked.

Great video with some alternative methods. Most of our houses in my district have long driveways that make laddering the roof with an aerial quite the challenge. So ground ladders are our "go to" most of the time. If I have a surface that the butt of the ladder can bite into, I like to transition the ladder flat on to my shoulder from the high carry. After this I advance towards the structure and thrust the ladder into the ground gaining enough momentum to raise the ladder in one motion. It is a bear with the 24 or 28, but it is nice and quick with one person. Don't know if you have seen that before, but just an idea! Stay safe!

Cant wait to try all this with a regular extension ladder. I attempted nearly all of it after watching this and getting all psyched with the 40 footer and was reminded what a 98lb. Weakling I am. Didnt kill anybody, but after just barely getting it raised once, I couldn't move it at all and was nearly spent. When I lowered it, i got it like 70 percent down before the ladder started extending in my hands (should have spun it around first, I think) and I had to let it crash the final five or six feet. Later I got the tip of my shoe stuck in between the rungs and luckily my toes were spared and I kept control of the ladder or my foot was going with it. Abandoned the power clean as soon as I assumed the grip. Once I got it raised (and barely kept it pinned to the building ad it wanted to tip), it was evident it was not on flat ground so I had to try to lift up one leg while sliding something underneath while not allowing it to slide down the entire side of the house. Somehow, it worked. I dont think I could even carry the ladder vertically with the low hand through, weak hand over method that is the go-to on a 20 footer. I have no doubt this all would've been awesome with a manageable ladder, but god damn lol. Rough day.

Captain, unfortunately I failed my state test because I did not fully extend the ladder .. I was rung short. There was no command to fully extend. Why do you think they wanted me to fully extend a ladder being their was no assignment or task when raising it? In my book it says nothing about a ladder having to be fully extended. I tied it off perfectly, had the fly out and made contact the entire time.
@Boxalarmtraining5 жыл бұрын
Sorry to hear that. No idea how the testing process is performed in your area. We raise and extend ladders to reach a location so I’m not sure what the testing criteria was for your test.
@ofcv12385 жыл бұрын
I am curious too. It could be specific to the test and not a standard or recommended practice. Perhaps the intention is to “know your ladder’s maximum reach relative to structure visual cues and then draw down to a target area?” It sounds like wasted time but presumably not to be employeed with immediate rescue needs so nominal amount of time to raise to maximum and know limitations of what you have deployed and you can begin planning alternatives if the need arises beyond existing ladder limits...or know you could safely get to a higher point with the existing ladder.

I work with a 375lbs rated fiberglass extension ladder. I whish it was this light lol
@Boxalarmtraining4 жыл бұрын
To be honest I think this ladder is heavier than your 375lb rated. This is a 24’ AlcoLite rated at 750lbs. It weighs 75lbs. I think most of the fiberglass ladders weigh a good bit less than fire service ladders. Fire service ladders have to meet NFPA1931 and they are way over engineered.
@HCkev4 жыл бұрын
@@Boxalarmtraining So they're about the same weight. Didn't know they were that heavy, aluminum ladders are usually much lighter. You made it look light!
@HCkev4 жыл бұрын
@@Boxalarmtraining But it makes sense when I think about it, it has to support multiple people on it (when rescuing people for instance), while my ladder is designed for one person at a time (although I weight 140lbs, two like me could be on it and still be well below the weight rating)

You are obviously puny, and incredibly soft. That’s the fact of the matter. But that’s still no excuse for why you can’t handle a ladder. Whether you’re big or small, that isn’t what’s important. It’s believing you can, rather than thinking you can’t. You do have the ability, and that’s a fact, my dude. But if you really want it to happen, you’re gonna have to change that attitude. Start pumping some iron, maybe. Nut up, and be a man. Tell yourself you can do it, and then you’ll see that you can. Hang in there, and take care. But don’t forget, life’s not fair. So you might wanna grow a pair. You’re welcome, and good luck 👍🏿 It’s too bad you suck 😢 God bless.
