SLCFR from A1 ladder trucks.” The state agency, Ore- gon Department of Pub- lic Safety Standards and Training (DPSST), runs the training as needed throughout the state. Fire Training Coor- dinator Robert Farino designed and teaches the class, which gives students a range of expe- rience with their depart- ment’s ladder truck. “It’s a range of exer- cises practicing what this truck will do and its typical uses,” said Farino. “So, water flow in an elevated master stream, roof access for crews, rescue from win- dows and other techni- cal rescues. It’s really a multi-function tool. It’s more than just for put- ting a nozzle up in the air.” SLCFR crew practiced deploying the truck’s ladder on Saturday to ac- cess the roof of the King Estate Winery building in Cottage Grove’s In- dustrial Park. “They actually let us use their facility, which is great,” said Smith. Saturday’s exercise at the site saw crew mem- bers extend the ladder from different vantage points to access key parts of the roof. “If we’re going to send a crew up with chain- saws for ventilation — to cut out sections in the roof — we would put them up there,” ex- plained Farino.

It’s defi- nitely more difficult to get that training,” said Smith. “So, it was good to come together.” Farino attested that it’s training that many need but is not available with high frequency. “That’s why it’s good for us to do a regional class where we can invite everybody in.
