Ground Ladder Highpoint Rescue Method

Put this video together just real quick to show the basic concept of the ground ladder highpoint rescue technique. We'll show the actual application in person in upcoming training.

Am a fire fighter and still learning new techniques like it

[@Joseph_Minehan]

good video. I learned it with wrapping the rung and dropping the bag down, but same principal

I was taught to tie a share knot with the loops behind the head to insure the arm loops stay put

[@phillipa224]

Good technique. I would add the twist and re-clip to the excess webbing to cinch that up.

Thanks for the great video!

Good use of minimal gear . I beg pardon Sir , I cant help but to mention the potential of gravel and the ladder angle without a ladder tether . Why not add a single sheave pulley to that dedicated gear bag ? Rope chaffing on those textured rungs under a load has got to be dangerously severe !

What about using a 4:1

[@riversandpeaksguideservice4031]

Because there's (presumably) a fire in the building!

soooooo wrong. NEVER hang load off of rung! you sling around the beams and the rung stops it from falling.

...glad to see some firefighters are still engaged in finding life-saving techniques. However, a video with smoke, firefighter(s) in packs, masks, GLOVES, some noise, and a 250-pounder in a room full of sh*#, carpet, and full window dressings would seem to be a better, a more realistic, test of the likelihood that this technique would be generally successful.

You demonstrate bad habits to others who train firefighters. And incorrect technique to those who are just beginning. Very poorly done.
