On Wednesday, July 8th the members from Fire Station One, the “Big House” conducted an Ariel ladder drill at the Long Beach Convention Center. This drill was intended to practice the operations of hooking up a water supply through multiple hoses to supply enough water to provide for an elevated water stream that could be used to fight large fires. Multiple different types of nozzles were used at the tip of the ladder to determine the best one for different types of applications.

This drill also provided the opportunity for the Engineers to practice elevating and raising the ladder which would be needed to provide for the rescue of possibly trapped victims involved in a high rise structure fire. The length of the ladder at full extension is approximately 100 feet, however due to climbing angles and possible set backs from different buildings, rescue operations would usually be limited to about the 8th or 9th floor balcony levels.
