newls1 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Today in our Fire Dept rookie class we had Ladder training. Something that sounds so plain and easy... NOPE! i learned that there are/is like 20 parts to a ladder and you have to know all of the parts names/what there purpose is and what easy type of ladder is used for, etc.... Obviously we also had our ladder truck out there. She has a 110ft extention reach, and let me tell you that sum bitch is FUN!!!!!!!!!! gets a little bouncy up there and we did have a few people "lockup" and were un-able to complete the course due to the height of which they were at.... I on the other hand had a blast on that apparatus. That building is our training building for rescues and such.... pretty cool day today, and most importantly i learned alot today from it. I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorfish88 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm jealous, bro. Man looks like good lessons and fun lots of action. Did you get rattles in your stomach, at the heights? My feet would have been tingling (sayin lets go back down). GL with your training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newls1 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 no, im not really scared of heights. Only thing i have to get used to is working with gloves on. That is a major PITA!

If you haven't already done the exercise where you have to make your way through a maze with your SCBA covered up so you can't see and you have to follow the hose line the correct way you will hate the gloves even more lol bumps to the pump formerly known as Jaylor Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poorfish88 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 How you holding up are you making it? It's cool to get a inside view of making it as a fireman... Got tons of military boot camp movies and such but no FD ones I know of. Pulling for you to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkster Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Nice. We were required to climb our tower at its maximum height. Was a pretty cool experience. Our instuctor made us do a leg lock with full gear and lean backwards and flap our hands like a bird. LOL. Talk about nerve wrecking.
