At 0:26 when they are leaning from the ladders I heard that they are going to discontinue that. One of the guys fell of the ladder and suffered massive brain damage.

What was with the leg locks on the ladder in the middle of the parking lot? That looks nuts! How did you keep the bottom from kicking out? Anyway great vid!

EVERYONE in the fire academy doesnt have to do that ladder trick do they?? That was an instructor or something right?

@thewallisnow I was thinking of going to Lansing Community Colleges two year program, or Lake Superior State Universitys 4 year program, but I am terrified that I wont be able to get on with a department afterwards and then debt.

I'm thinking about doing a fire academy but I'm terrified of heights. I don't know if I would be able to get that high on a ladder. lol
Sorry for the confusion. Either way this video is amazing. How are you guys able to extend back so far when your up that high in the ladder? Cause it looks like you guys are about to fall.

It's a safety technique used to save time on the fireground to work off a ladder without having to spend time using equipment. You use your knee and leg to wrap the beams of the ladder- I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you've been trained. :)

I've seen many videos on youtube but nothing as amazing and inspirational as this. I've heard of Mt. Sac's Fire Academy, but never knew how serious all they do is. Firefighters are underpaid heroes who save lives and make a difference in the world. You all will be outstanding firefighters. Great video.

This is actually Santa Ana College's Fire academy- Mt. Sac's is a different one... but thanks for the comments.
