RECRUIT ACADEMY 26-01 - Week 6 Recap

Week 6 of the Alameda Fire Department’s Recruit Academy was the introduction to Ladders.

Recruits learned the basics of wooden ladders and then progressed into the process of throwing, placing and maneuvering these ladders in a variety of scenarios. The Recruits worked with various roof ladders, the 20’ straight, 28’ extension, and 35’ extension ladders.

These traditional wooden ladders require skill and technique which was the focus of this week. The Recruits will continue to work through different ladder evolutions to mimic the different scenarios they will be faced with in the field.

Stay Tuned each week to see what Academy 26-01 has been training on.

RECRUIT ACADEMY 26-01 - Week 4 Recap

Over the past Week, Recruits continued learning and practicing hose deployment methods. Most of the week focused on extended hose stretches and Standpipe Operations. This allows firefighters to extend hose lines beyond pre-connected lengths to access fires that are located deeper within a complex or building.

The Recruits continue to build upon the skills they’ve already learned by incorporating donning SCBAs and masking up for each evolution. This repetition continues to build muscle memory so the firefighters can focus on the bigger dynamic situations they will face.

RECRUIT ACADEMY 26-01 - Week 3 Recap

This past week, the focus of the Academy was deploying, stretching and moving hose. From making hydrant connections to secure water supply to stretching pre-connected lines and moving them through the training tower.

This allowed the Recruits to apply all the skills they’ve learned so far - donning PPE and SCBA to now actively deploying hose lines for fire attack.
