department ladder companies face many challenges. Ladder company
personnel are an integral part of fire fighting operations at the
fireground, and this book emphasizes the point that fire fighters
performing ladder company tasks must be properly trained, possess the
proper equipment, and be adequately staffed.
Ladder Company Fireground Operations, Third Edition covers
the basic objectives of ladder company work including the assignments
of conducting a primary search, rescuing victims, forcing entry, and
conducting proper ventilation techniques. This book also emphasizes
other areas of importance including pre-incident planning, using
standard operating guidelines (SOPs), and working within an Incident
Management System (IMS).
