Rescue and Ventilation training...

Well as I said in my last entry, we did ventilation training as well as some practice ladder stuff as well. Everything was great... Cut the 4x4 hole in the roof and get off! Not too hard, plus I have done this before so it was good review.

What I didn't know was that there was a second station set up for ladder training, but not just any ladder training. This training was designed for second story ladder rescue, of either a victim (civilian) or a fellow firefighter who had lost consciousness. This was an awesome drill... One I am glad I learned for both rescuing the people we serve but also knowing that if my brothers get in trouble I have learned but another way to get them out of it.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The ladder truck... Well, that didn't exactly work out. It turned out that they had some other stuff planned for today so we have to move it to another day. DANG! I was really looking forward to climbing the 'stick' too. Oh well, I will keep you posted on that.

Until next time...
