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