On the schedule this week, Portable Ladders and Rescue/Stabilization Struts.
Career members reviewed and practiced raising, extending and carrying Portable Ladders. Our portable ladders can be rapidly deployed to rescue victims or access upper floors or roofs. We carry a variety of different lengths and configurations on our apparatus. Training on ladders is critical, as good technique is the key to quick and safe deployment.
Volunteer members were provided with in-service training and familiarization of our new Rescue & Stabilization struts. A number of different functions were practiced with the struts, for different scenarios that may be encountered during an emergency.
All members must be proficient with all of our equipment that we carry, to ensure that we are ready to put it use safely, competently and quickly. |
