gets into a regular routine getting equipment ready for the response and a set sequence of
steps allows you to wear your gear properly.

Ladders have a major role in the fire service. A member must be able to ascend and descend
from one level to another when performing emergency operation. Stairways are ordinarily
accessible, but sometimes they may be involved in fire or other hazards. Members must
therefore need to provide their own means of ascent or descent to upper floors, rescue,
rooftop operation , ventilation and fire stream operation may also require the extension and
proper placement. Fire service ladders demand close and coordinated teamwork.. The safety
of citizens and members depends on the ability to perform all operations,using established
and proper techniques.
