Course Description
Inherently we face our largest degree of danger on the fire ground. A basic understanding of ground ladders decreases the severity of many risks including roof ventilation, search operations, fire attack in elevated levels, and victim rescue. The basic ground ladder skills; carrying, placing and securing are perishable skills that need to be practiced and reviewed often. Care of the ladder is just as critical as the use. Extension ladders have multiple components that require upkeep to ensure safety for the firefighter and the victims it may save. Mastery knowledge of fire service ground ladders is a requirement for not only the recruit firefighter but the senior officer on the apparatus alike. This course offers 4 CE hours covering ladder construction, types, inspection, maintenance, carries, placement and raising. This course offers an interactive practice session and a module quiz based off IFSTA Essentials of Firefighting 7th edition. This course satisfies: NFPA 1001 4.3.6, 4.3.9, 4.3.10, 4.3.11, 4.3.12, 4.5.1
