While it is usually desirable to have maximum manning to raise a ladder, on the fire-ground, this is not always the case. This is a quick video showing how to single throw a 24' extension ladder.
I’ve never seen a 24’ handled like this before. Not a compliment or criticism, but 31 years of beam raise-high shoulder-throw and stick it-rotate-extend with high elbows FROM THE FRONT halyard pull is the bread and butter go to technique at every SoCal FD I ever trained with or observed.
