Drill of the Week: Ground Ladder Rescue

Ladder rescue skill requires swift and efficient movement and coordination by all members of the rescue team. Placement of the ladder at the sill base, and safe climbing angles along with heeling and spotting, must be coordinated in order to effect a
rescue of a civilian or a firefighter in distress. Use ladder(s) assigned to your company to perform this operation using protective clothing that would normally be used to complete the operation.
