Hi, Do you know of a book called ladders or something to that affect? It is suppose to be a book of tactics and strategies from FDNY? Trying to find out if it exists???
Thanks
Eric
Eric what we can tell you is that FDNY does has an excellent training manuals for their firefighters that are titled Ladders I-V. I’m not sure on how you can obtain them, but I do believe I have seen them on a website called fire training resources under the download section. If you don’t find anything there let us know via email firefighterbasics@gmail.com and we will try to assist you further.
