Training: Fire fighter ground ladder deployment: high/low technique
This video discusses and demonstrates an alternative method for deploying a ground ladder called the "high/low" - The technique is simply a combination of two traditional carries - A straight arm and shoulder. By combining both these positions the ladder is set up for a rapid and smooth transition from the carry to the raise.
Properly positioning the fly section before approaching the building and your objective will further increase the overall speed, efficiency and safety of the deployment. The "high/low" method isn't perfect for every situation, but it can have a place on the fire ground - It's just one more technique to put in your "tool box of skills" Train, stay prepared, be aggressive, make the save - SURVIVE!
