To The ROOF : 8/14/25 - Blake Haun

“To The ROOF”

Roof ladders. As with anything in the fire service, there are multiple ways to achieve the same outcome. Your skill level, body stature, and height will often lead you to make adaptations in order to complete the task in a more efficient way. For those of us that the good Lord didn’t bless with being the tallest in the room, we are used to making adaptations.

This video is one of many options for those that may struggle with the leverage of the ladder when setting up for the roof.

1. Deploy the hooks and secure

2. Climb until you are at the top 25% of the roof ladder.

3. Rest the roof ladder on your shoulder or forearm while holding a rung.

4. As you reach the roof, allow the ladder to naturally pivot onto the pitch of the roof.
