Ladder Company 24 A Training

November 18, 2010
Ladder Company 24 on the A Platoon conducted training at their firehouse simulating rescuing a civilian from a window into the basket of the Ladder. Ladder 24’s crew used the parapet of the roof to simulate a window sill. The rescues of both conscious and unconscious persons were simulated. This function, in some cases, would be handled by one Firefighter. This Firefighter rides the Outside Vent position on the Ladder Company and is responsible to vent, enter and search.
