I know that this is not a firefighter forum, but I haven't found any firefighter forums that are of the same...quality . Anyway, I'm hopefully going to go to the fire academy next summer or take an EMT I/99 course. My big question is how did y'all handle or prepare for the ladder climb? I personally think that I would freeze going half-way up the +-80 foot climb with only two railings beside me and my math component of that height without supports directly under it. Secondly, would professional Fire Departments (joint-EMS in most counties in VA) or EMS services be willing to adjust your shifts around when you have college courses, such as 12 hour shifts from 1800-0600 and +48 hour shifts on weekends?
