February 26th - Our final day training at Rutgers Plaza was "truckie" training. It involved
taking a person off the roof of a structure without using interior stairways. This required putting
the patient in a stokes basket, and then securing the stokes to the bucket of the ladder. Then the crew in the
ladder would lower the bucket to the ground, where the victim can be turned over to a waiting EMS crew. FF Sudo,
being the lightest member of the crew, graciously volunteered to be
the victim in this evolution

After the stokes was taken off
the ladder, Chief Ries took Lt. Natal and Engineer Amos aside and
gave them a quick lesson on how to operate the bucket. |
