Ladder Company Operations

Ladder company operations involve deploying specialized teams to assist with building fires and emergencies. Their primary tasks include extending ladders to reach upper floors or rooftops, rescuing trapped individuals, ventilating smoke and heat from structures, and providing access for firefighting crews. They also assess building conditions from above to identify hazards. Effective ladder operations require precise placement and coordination to ensure safety and efficiency, allowing firefighters to reach elevated areas quickly and perform rescue or ventilation work effectively during emergencies.
