  • The Head First Ladder Bail is a technique used by firefighters to quickly exit from a room that has flashed over or is untenable. A class covering this technique and other safety & survival techniques is available at www.AllHandsFireTraining.com.
    This training was recorded at FDIC in Indianapolis, IN. The firefighter survival training session was presented by S&ST.

    That move saved my life at one time, or at least kept me out of the burn center, but guys be very conscientious of the placement at the end of the ladder. It’s extremely hard to do this if it’s even a little bit above the sill. I’d rather have a not so good angle with the ladder below the sill than a great angle with the rungs above the sill. This is also the case for a rescue as well. If your trying to muscle someone unconscious out the window that extra few inches will make or break the rescue. Good job getting this info out there brothers

    Hi I'm from Germany and served in three countries as a firefighter (Germany, france and italy)
    We didn't have this training but we have a similar thing.
    Emergency evacuation head first with a cord.😱
    And because I was the class representative I must always go first in such things.
    Man almost shit in my pants at the moment leaning head first out of the window.
    But knowing such "tricks" could make the difference between life and dead.
    But I see also a mistake at 0:20 standing with your full body in front of the window you try to open is a really bad working practice that could end your life.
    The risk here is that after the fresh air can now enter the room it can cause a flashbang you could say "explosion" that can in case you're lucky only burn you a bit but they can be so powerful that they blow you off the ladder.

    There's something I think that should be done that I have never seen in these videos. At the top of the ladder mount a Evacuator Alarm/Strobe Light so that the guys inside can see and hear where the window is. Even in daylight, the smoke can get so bad you can't see the window. At night, you can get completely disoriented. They have remote control ones so you can leave them off until you need them to avoid all the noise.

    That’s pretty bad ass! I feel like my shoulder might have a tough time with the rotation once coming down though, would be cool to try out nonetheless

    Good Video... From a safety standpoint though, the irons should never be blindly dropped out of a window. (1:01) If your escaping IDLH conditions, leave the tool in the structure. It is not worth a head injury to your other rescuers or the public. Not trying to criticism, just trying to be proactive.

      100%! This bailout is not a "everyone make sure we got all our shit?" bailout. It's a rush job. Gtfo. Don't care if you left your cat inside just ggoooooo

    Ok, but I though the firefighters were going to slide down the ladder head first from a somewhat tall building, all the way down head first. to the ground

    What angle of attack does your ladder have and how is it secured? In Germany we have 65-75 degrees. I don't think it's a safe option for us given our steepness. But good video. Thanks and greetings from Germany.

    • @reversecard7174
      @reversecard7174 Před 6 měsíci

      In America the “standard” Is 75° from what I know from my academy but in all honesty what we do is nuts step on the first rung and the ring that’s straight old should be a full arms length out of that makes sense

    if you're on a fire scene and that close to the building you should be wearing a helmet.. and you shouldn't walk under ladders, i feel like that would not be your fault for dropping it since you were in a rush to get out and save your life

  • @MaxwellHouse.
    @MaxwellHouse. Před rokem

    Isn’t the fire fighter suppose to do a leg lock when stopped like that? Seems extremely unsafe to be smashing something without having your body secure

    • @aviewer2756
      @aviewer2756 Před 4 lety +1

      You actually for this want a bit less than a 75 degree angle. 75 is optimal under normal circumstances but, bailing out you want it more angled.

    • @JaySmith-or3us
      @JaySmith-or3us Před 4 lety

      For this to be doable you want the ladder at about 60 degrees actually

    • @someguy6194
      @someguy6194 Před 3 lety +1

      This is the correct rescue angle. Rescue angle and working angle are not the same.

    @322batman Před 10 lety +1

    100% Correct .... dropping tools out of the window is not a great idea. All those instructional videos, touching the subject of "Emergency bailout" are shifted from reality. When you "On Fire", your comprehension alters to a wild hog running true a burning forest. I'm attaching a link to something that is used 9 of the 10 in emergency situations. No criticism to All Hands Fire. Peace All and stay safe.
