Very nice!! Too many ff are worried about fancy crap and they forget the basics. Its good to see an obviously smart experienced ladder man make a nice video like this. PS: Im vacationing in Nashville in one month cant wait to see it.
Awesome stuff! As a volly on a small department I am always looking for tips and tricks like this. Your training videos are outstanding and this one is no exception. Thank you!
This guy "Trey" is right on the money. I've been an officer in a Volunteer Engine Company for many years, and next time were in on a job and assigned R.I.T. duty were building the "Trey Sled". I'll add a sledgehammer and our EMS bag/ Defib to round it out. By the way: Trey does NOT have a leather helmet on. If you took the time to look around 7:18 you'll see edging around the brim. Leathers ain't got that. Your looking at is a well shitted-up front piece on a very safe polycarb. helmet.
Thank you from Las Vegas Trey (Dave Brasells III) I happened across your video looking for how to release the quick lock on the Louisiana ladder I rented for some projects lined up around the house. ikik sounds kinda silly (Tomboy me will laugh with you), until I saw you holding the ladder straight up and lifting. Quite impressive with all the tips & caring to share for those risking their lives voluntarily! Thank you for rental time is $$! Just as a side note for fire fighters and AC repair men to cheers ~ I personally had a commercial ladder installed outside on my 2 story house after her 25th year of me using crazy aluminum ladders at an angle too short (4ft from the neighbors wall) to be safe because Lewis Homes didn't think about accessing the AC for servicing on the roof in this desert. You know that good ole rush to market style of development round the planet. Having developed some things in my life, testing is greatly important but sadly not always an option. Many Successful Years 2 All! Peace!
Another great thing to do if you're not a big guys and throwing a 24 by yourself is... when you flat raise the ladder, get the ladder flat against the building (if construction permits) with the fly side against the building. use your weight (doesn't take much) to pin the ladder against the building, and raise it as needed. when it's to your needed height, just pull the base out and adjust as needed. Just another way to do things. thanks for sharing!
This is a legitimate question, so don't feel offended. But you specified putting the fly section against the building before raising it. Is there a specific reason for that? Or is it just your dept standard? At my dept we are taught "fly out" or "When in doubt, fly out." I'm just curious.
+# BLASMASH hey man. just to get access to the halyard. you raise it up, make sure it's locked, pull the base away from the building, then flip the ladder.
If your ventilating your gonna want a crew of at least 2, It should be quick and sweet. I like some of the strategic placing of ladder beams/Heels to make things smooth. Good way to think outside of the box. Stay low and let it blow.
Great Video, thank you for sharing. The tip about raising the ladder helped me out a great deal, took a little practice for me being a shorter guy, but got it down. One question, anyone can answer, I like that way of carrying the tools on top of the ground ladder, but how about dragging the ladder like that across asphalt or concrete? Is it okay for that ladder or is it a no go? Appreciate it, and stay safe.
Well Jr, if you are joining a volunteer fire dept. you will eventually experience what most volunteers with years of exp. have had happen. I, and I am sure many others have ended up at a structure fire with only 2-3 people for the first 15- 20 minutes. You will need to learn to improvise, adapt and overcome simply because there will come a time you cannot just stand around and wait for the cavalry to arrive. The world is not perfect and Volunteers do have other lives that get in the way. Be Safe
@jainter Indeed. Some will say it's taking too long to get to the roof but it's better to get there with all your gear and all your bones intact. Don't rush but do move with a purpose.
It's not ideal to drag across asphalt or concrete, but if you do not have the numbers it's the best way to get the job done and get the vertical hole open to help the guys inside save life and protect property!
i'm joining a fire department as a junior. i think i'll bring this up to the chief but it just doesn't seem useful unless you only have a crew of 3 or 4 other than that if you have 5 to 10 you won't need it
Nowhere on here did anyone say that they're near death everyday. The video is helping firefighters so that they aren't killed. If they did everything taught in the academy far more members would be killed every year. But firefighters, such as Trey from Truck 3 here, find good unconventional ways to keep firefighters safe. Good day to you, sir.
Great Video! Just wondering do you leg lock when positioning your R ladder and shouldn't you sound off before transferring from the E ladder to the R ?
Yes it's hard to keep it anything other than burnt and black if he goes into as many fire's as you say.. Yet when it gets to the point where the eye shields have burnt enough to curl? Little over due for a new helmet..
If I need a rock thrower I know who to call ... his helmet is a leather lid and that was all from fires on the job and not training burns ... but then since you're too busy throwing stones you wouldn't know about that ... and you obviously have a different approach to throwing ladders and if that work for you great, but have you considered there are many ways to accomplish the same tasks? Maybe you should observe and try before you throw your next stone! Dave
If you're the TO are you still on the line fighting fire? If you make as many fires as Trey, then you will appreciate how hard it is to keep a leather helmet any other color than black! I appreciate your point of view, but think you are short changing your folks on such a preferential issue.
Great video dont listen to the people who talk about your helmet should be clean or you need to replace your bourkes... havin a helmet like that is all about tradition id rather have a smoked up helmet then a clean one anyday im savin up to buy a leather
@jainter No no I didn't mean to say that you were knocking the technique. I just wanted to make the point that moving too quick will get you hurt or killed. Sorry for the mixup that's not what I meant.
The shields are useless, there's no visible identification markers. In my area of work I don't wear a leather lid. If you showed up up wearing damaged gear to that extent you wouldn't be working till you got a new one.
he threw the ladder wrong the pull rope goes to the outside so your in front of the ladder when your raising or lowering ect not behind you control the ladder in front not behind when its a one man throw and it looks like the stove was set on 450 for that helmet
@richardff7 yeah well this isnt Canada its America and you honestly expect a firefighter to continue changing helmets after it gets a little burned in a fire is ludicris
Well this one does not. This one is helping keep members safe. You're comment on this video is invalid and inappropriate. I sure hope you never need fire suppression or emergency medical.
In my experience, everyone in the training division (instructors and recruits) has nicely seasoned helmets. I had a seasoned helmet when I went through the academy too. If you think that's what makes a good firefighter, then put you fuckin helmet in a campfire and you can look like a fuckin hero, but you better back it up!
you don't wear ripped first aid gloves, you don't use busted SCBA, you don't wear ripped turn outs....hang it on a wall or put it on the shelf.....don't succumb to stereotypical behaviour. Be safe, train hard, think smart.
What's with all the helmet comments? It's black and burned because the man has been to fires! It's SUPPOSED to look like that and you are SUPPOSED to pay attention when guys with that kind of experience talk! If a guy conducting training at my department waltzed in with a scrubbed clean plastic helmet I'd laugh at him and conclude any knowledge he has was found in a book. Concentrate on the message instead of clucking your tongues at the saltiness of the guy's gear; you'll be better off.
That's not the safest or the easiest way to raise a 24 foot extension ladder by yourself. I just can't take this guy seriously with his helmet shields melted and still on his helmet. Go ahead and skip this video and find something better.
the southern accent helped me to pay attention, thank you
I'm not a firefighter and I thoroughly enjoyed the tips for raising/maneuvering a ladder. It will help me with jobs around the house.
I HAVE ALSO SEEN WHER THE LADDER IS RAISED A FIREFIGHTER STANDS BEHIND THE MAIN LADDER HOLDING IT IN PLACE PREVENTING A FALL
Work smarter not harder! I like it and as a 22 yr vet it makes a whole lotta sense. Keep up the vids!
Very nice!! Too many ff are worried about fancy crap and they forget the basics. Its good to see an obviously smart experienced ladder man make a nice video like this. PS: Im vacationing in Nashville in one month cant wait to see it.
Nice technique 👌 👏 👍 😎

Great stuff Trey!
very unconventional and resourceful.
I Loved it.

10 years later and these tips are still great
This idea is beyond fantastic for a small dept. like mine. Great ideas.

Damn good video. I'm a rookie on the ladder and this video helps a lot. Thank you.
Excellent video! I learned a lot from this video. I appreciate what you do to help people. Thanks for your service to mankind. A very dangerous job.
Nice video! I`m a training Lt. on my local volunteer dept. and I`ll be using some of the things in the video to show our guys!!
Outstanding video brother, I appreciate your time and dedication
That’s a salty helmet bro good work ‼️
Thanks for putting this video together. I have a booter working with me right now, and I think we’ll mess around with this technique.
great video! the content is great. please ignore the comments from people who's gear is pristine from their years of riding a desk
Ah Liek Tha Waye Yoo Tawk!
Thanks brother. Im going to show this off at our next training night. Awesome!

+Tyler Rago Gotcha, good deal. thanks man
+# BLASMASH no problem. I was only referring to a single person raise.
Great video!! I'm going to train with my crew this technique this weekend.
Time to replace those Bourkes.
I loved it, my only thought is I was always told to sound the roof before transitioning over.
As always strong work Trey. I also like to have a pre tied halyard on my ext ladder to make things easier and faster.
Good stuff, we are training on this and many other ladder oriented stuff this weekend. Thanks!
A VERY INTERESTING MOVE WITH THE LADDERS AND THE TOOLS
Great video
good video!! im from chile and we use almost the same procedure for setting up ladders
Excellent videos!
If your ventilating your gonna want a crew of at least 2, It should be quick and sweet. I like some of the strategic placing of ladder beams/Heels to make things smooth. Good way to think outside of the box. Stay low and let it blow.
Great Stuff, only thing I would suggest is to start the saw prior to going up. Thanks for sharing!!
Terrible idea.
Great ideas. Thank you for your video.
Nice video. Keep them coming please
That mustache is a masterpiece

@jainter Indeed. Some will say it's taking too long to get to the roof but it's better to get there with all your gear and all your bones intact. Don't rush but do move with a purpose.
i think u can throw the saw from the ladder like that because its over grass... what if ur over solid concrete? it may suffer some damage right?
yeah it happens. make the best of what you have i suppose. save time, save lives, save property. thank and stay safe

“Last but certainly not least”
Halligan
great video im on the Engine in washington dc and i never see guys do this on truck. goo tips
great video sir. might wanna sound the roof though
@inst5productions I agree with you. How are you going to determine weather or not you show this video to your troop based upon a burnt up helmet?
Lid looks cool all burnt and stuff
but serious concerns for cancer there. 😲
Not sure if its a typo...It still works in this context
It's not ideal to drag across asphalt or concrete, but if you do not have the numbers it's the best way to get the job done and get the vertical hole open to help the guys inside save life and protect property!
Hey love your video when you going to make more
when you put the tools on the ladder why not put them closer to the drag end of the ladder so it's easier to lift/ better leverage?
Damn good training vid!
i'm joining a fire department as a junior. i think i'll bring this up to the chief but it just doesn't seem useful unless you only have a crew of 3 or 4 other than that if you have 5 to 10 you won't need it
Dave, Where did you get this video? Need to talk with the Instructor. Thanks

If they did everything taught in the academy far more members would be killed every year. But firefighters, such as Trey from Truck 3 here, find good unconventional ways to keep firefighters safe. Good day to you, sir.
The Bourkes are there for a reason. Get a new pair but good video
Great Video! Just wondering do you leg lock when positioning your R ladder and shouldn't you sound off before transferring from the E ladder to the R ?
Some good ideas....except for that burned up 'cancer cap'.
He got the Key West tickler on his face.
Awesome vid!! Great content! Helmet issue?? It's leather, it's suppose to be black anyways ;) Just get a new visor and she's as good as new!
do you wear a leather lid?? it is not compromised, just well used at man fires ... make as many as we do and show me your lid!
Thanks brow good video
muy bueno el manejo de escalas
Yes it's hard to keep it anything other than burnt and black if he goes into as many fire's as you say.. Yet when it gets to the point where the eye shields have burnt enough to curl? Little over due for a new helmet..
ImageIsBaws or maybe just a new set of bourkes. Leather helmets last a lifetime
If I need a rock thrower I know who to call ... his helmet is a leather lid and that was all from fires on the job and not training burns ... but then since you're too busy throwing stones you wouldn't know about that ... and you obviously have a different approach to throwing ladders and if that work for you great, but have you considered there are many ways to accomplish the same tasks? Maybe you should observe and try before you throw your next stone! Dave
Thank you. Who cares about the burned helmet. maybe his depts budget isn't as vast as your large dept. Good content.
how long do you have to pre-head your oven before you put you helmet in?
good vid but he didnt sound check the roof
If you're the TO are you still on the line fighting fire? If you make as many fires as Trey, then you will appreciate how hard it is to keep a leather helmet any other color than black! I appreciate your point of view, but think you are short changing your folks on such a preferential issue.
I'm at a volunteer Dept and have old shit gear from the 70's. It is what it is.
Great video dont listen to the people who talk about your helmet should be clean or you need to replace your bourkes... havin a helmet like that is all about tradition id rather have a smoked up helmet then a clean one anyday im savin up to buy a leather

very cool
you are from texsas?
Yes I ve seen this done my capt at the time showed me this
@richardff7 yeah well this isnt Canada its America and you honestly expect a firefighter to continue changing helmets after it gets a little burned in a fire is ludicris
so much tough dust in that mustache!
That's not a moustache, it's an air filter.
That well seasoned helmet makes this video even more credible
man fires .....nice.
@BuiltFarmStrong What if he does move this slow at a real fire?????
@inst5productions Even this is old but i use your videos on a RP server im a fire CHIEF there and im training my people
love the video but whats up with the helmet ????
But this isn't construction, this is firefighting. Things are different in this profession. Firefighters need to improvise.
I hope you don't move this slow when there is a real fire
It's a Paul Conway leather ... sorry there buddy ... Dave
Well this one does not. This one is helping keep members safe. You're comment on this video is invalid and inappropriate. I sure hope you never need fire suppression or emergency medical.
@jacobeast1 Couldn't of said it any better!

If you think that's what makes a good firefighter, then put you fuckin helmet in a campfire and you can look like a fuckin hero, but you better back it up!
Exactly, you're not a firefighter.
Forgot to sou d the floor!!!!
when i become a firemen i wish my helmet will look just like that
you don't wear ripped first aid gloves, you don't use busted SCBA, you don't wear ripped turn outs....hang it on a wall or put it on the shelf.....don't succumb to stereotypical behaviour.
Be safe, train hard, think smart.
