San Francisco Fire Department Badasses Vertical 50-foot Ladder Demonstration
Loading...
Uploaded by ZorkFox on Aug 5, 2011
There hasn't been a class of graduates from the San Francisco Fire Department academy since 2005. Today, the 113th class graduated. After all the ceremonies and speeches from commissioners, captains, and his honor the mayor, the crew demonstrated a technique for climbing a 50-foot ladder with no support other than the firefighters' fellow crew members.
There were four people who climbed the ladder up and down, but I only recorded the first two. The first one is my brother. Definitely a badass. His stunt starts at the 6:49 mark.

Much respect to your brother, making it on SFFD is no easy task at all.

By replying to the comment you brought me back to this page. By bringing me back to this page, I was reminded of my firefighting classes.
I instantly felt horribly bored again lol.
Thanks a lot :(

@abzvinny318 we do it in the UK as well! but on metal ladders with pre fixed booms

I did this kind of climb on a 14ft ladder. It's actually not that bad, but idk what it's like on a 50ft xD
I don't think I'd ever be required to do it either. SFFD has to know how to do it because of their really tight streets. My area is nothing at all like San Francisco hahaha.

@abzvinny318 I think I could do it if I had to, as I'm not afraid of heights or anything. Luckily, the chances of me being required to climb this ladder are basically zero! XD

I climbed up a 50ft ladder that was leaning against a building. That was scary enough. Fuck this xD
-
@TheFiremat1 Huh. Well, people like the mayor and chief said 2005. o_O;

The 112th Academy graduated in October of 2010.

Its so amazing how firemen are so full of themselves. "Look at me, Look at me" "Hey everybod, look at me, I'm a fireman"

@zakksucksdick It's so amazing all the hard shit they do to save people's lives every day. That's what they do, you know, save lives. That's it. That's their whole reason for existing. Life saving. You should get on that.

@ZorkFox I bet the average firemen would never pull someone from a burning building, car, etc. I bet less than 5% of all firemen in the past 20 years have done it.

@zakksucksdick And you base this on what, a gut feeling? Guts aren't very good at rational thought, you know.
