Aerial Device Operations

A "properly positioned aerial device" can make the difference at a fire when it comes to extinguishment and rescue. In this program, basic placement and operation of Aerial and Tower Ladder Apparatus are covered along with victim removal, high point anchoring and some "tricks of the trade". Emphasis is placed on using the tower ladder aerial device as an effective firefighting tool and not just a large caliber stream pouring water from the sky. Class size is limited to enhance student participation.
