Dagum Throw: Advanced Ladder Operations and Aerial Operations.
The Dagum Throw is an immersive, hands-on course designed to elevate your proficiency with both ground ladders and aerial apparatus operations. This class pushes beyond the basics, empowering firefighters to confidently and creatively use ladders—even in non-traditional, high-stakes scenarios.
Participants will:
* Master traditional and non-traditional ground ladder techniques
* Explore advanced methods for aerial truck placement in rescue operations
* Learn effective strategies for victim retrieval at the ladder tip
* Practice real-world scenarios involving ladder rescues, bailouts, and unconventional ladder configurations—including ladder-on-ladder techniques
The phrase "I can’t make the rescue with the ladders on my truck" is not in our vocabulary. You’ll leave this course not only with deeper technical knowledge, but also with the mindset to innovate and adapt when lives are on the line.
Expect reps. Expect sweat. Expect to think like a rescuer who refuses to give up.
