<p>One of the first tools you were taught about when you started this job is the basic ground</p><p>ladder.</p><p>Once you learned how to throw one, it was no big deal, right? The longer the ladder, the more firefighters get to carry it. Except…</p><p>What if there’s not enough people on the fireground to do that?</p><p>You might be surprised to find that the 24-foot extension ladder can safely be carried and placed by just one firefighter. </p><p>Now, a lot of understaffed fire departments, especially volunteers, already know this. But if you started at a fully-staffed department, you may not have had to throw a ladder this size alone.</p><p>Today’s guest runs seminars on the use of ground ladders, and this is one of his favorite topics.</p><p>Kevin Weis started his career in the fire service in 2012 as a volunteer firefighter in Coldwater, Ohio. He’s been on the career side since 2014, starting in Defiance, Ohio. In 2020, he moved to the Glendale, Arizona Fire Department. </p><p><br></p><p> </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Kevin’s currently</p><p>a firefighter/ paramedic and specializes in TRT & Haz Mat. He’s also been a</p><p>fire inspector. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p> </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>He teaches</p><p>several hands-on-subjects, including search</p><p>tactics, forcible entry, hose line management, and of course, ground ladders.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

<p>One of the least exciting jobs for a firefighter is the dreaded Community Risk Reduction assignment.</p><p>In an urban environment, CRR may mean doing a meeting with the people you serve. Or maybe you’re changing smoke alarm batteries.</p><p>Either of those—not exciting, but not so much work, either.</p><p>But if your department covers urban and rural areas, where you could be tasked to fight a brush fire, well, now you may have to do some physical labor ... plus those meetings.</p><p>Not all, or even many, departments have dedicated crews to community risk reduction. Often, CRR is one person, whose job may include other responsibilities.</p><p>Today, I’m talking with one of our favorite guests, Chad Costa, about what CRR can do for your community…and what you can get out of it, too.</p><p>Chad is assistant fire chief for the Petaluma, California, fire department. He has over 25 years on the job.</p>
