Ground Ladders Training
Ground Ladders are essential equipment for firefighters. Knowing which ladder to use, the proper placement, and how to correctly raise and lower ladders can mean the difference between a safe operation and a serious injury, or worse.
Warren County Junior Firefighters learn the purpose and functions of the different types of ladders, how to perform one-person and two-person ladder carries, how to raise and lower ladders working as a team, how to perform a “ladder leg lock” so as to safely work from a ladder hands-free, how to carry tools and equipment while ascending or descending the ladder, and how to perform different methods of ladder rescues.
