I'm assuming your scenario is being done 'at ground level'. I wouldn't suggest this used on a second floor (or higher) rescue as the victim and the rescuer on the ladder are in a very poor position for removing the victim.
This drill was developed from an incident in which Engineer Mark Langvardt was separated from his crew during a structure fire and became trapped inside of a storage room on the second story. Denver firefighters were unable to get him out because heavy cabinets and equipment made the aisle Langvardt was trapped in only 28" wide. Most of the Denver Drill videos do not address bringing the firefighter down the ladder. We tried several different methods to get a firefighter down the ladder and I agree with you that it puts the firefighter in a very poor position for removing the victim. The method that we used in the video seemed to be the best one and during our department's training we broke that part of the drill down because it was difficult. We also talked to the crews about utilizing two ladders instead of one. I feel that if this situation occurs two ladders would be necessary and much more safe but due to the restriction of our prop we did not have two ladders. At the actual incident the Denver Fire Department had two ladders thrown but were unable to get him out. We also talked to our crews about the possibility of a window conversion especially when dealing with larger firefighters. I hope that none of us are faced with this situation because it is so difficult to effect a rescue.
This is a drill designed to use on ladders. The firefighter who passed was just beneath the window and they couldn’t get him out of the tight space. This drill came from that situation
This method looks way easier and more efficient than the way I was taught, I will definitely be trying this way next time do the drill
Learning it this week. Great job guys
The way you read at the beginning gave me flashbacks of NREMT testing w
Excellent video !
I did this with a company and it work very well.
That's awesome. It's pretty difficult especially at first but very effective.
My "boys" hurt just watching that strap get tightened like that. But beats burning to death. Definitely good to know as a newbie
As a student in fire 1, this was dope
what are the environmental measures?
But you know how much 🍤🍔
Did they say that 😮❤❤❤
