Building Search/Suppresion

1 post in this topic

With NEW construction and the lack of structural stability...what do you think of this idea...

When searching for the fire, or a report of a basement fire, and the possibility of persons in the occupancy....

place a roof ladder on the floor through the front door, capturing at least one full room.

With the floor assembly made out of glue, does it make sense to place a roof ladder on the floor? The old roof ladders were a little longer but the ones that are typically carried on apparatus could be utilized inside the box. Want to get a little crazy and if you have a truck company there take an extension ladder, extend it and capture more than one room. This would only be utilized if there was potential for persons in the building to give you a liitle more time. A hoseline would be place in the normal protection of the stairwell and egress for the firefighters, but with the new lightweight construction do you think that this makes sense? Feel free to call Bellvue if you think that I need a reservation...
