other operations such as
“below-grade” rescues
down into a ravine.
“By
the
time
we’re done, they’re
well-rounded in all the
different ways this truck
is used,” said Farino. “It
kind of takes them to
that next level of appli-
cation.”
The Fourth Alarm
FOOLS (Fraternal Or-
der of Leatherheads), a
group of local firefight-
ers also came down to
help with instruction,
said Farino, “To share
some knowledge and ex-
perience from Eugene/
Springfield.”

During last weekend’s aerial training, firefighters from multiple local agencies participated in ladder truck
training as part of a certification process required by the state DPSST.

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.

School, provided space

third of SLCFR’s crew to
be trained on the lad-
der truck, which was
purchased in 2017 with
funds from a 2015 gen-
eral obligation bond.
“Not
everybody’s
trained on it at the fire
department. 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. It’s more
efficient,” he said.
