North Conway, NH — November 17 —The North Conway Firefighters Association finished Monday night training that focused on aerial tower deployment and ladder skills. One group tested positioning the aerial tower at various ground angles and pitches, deploying jacks and outriggers, leveling the truck, and discussing cribbing where the terrain required support. The truck was relocated multiple times to encourage proper setup practices.

Another group focused on ladder operations, such as rises, appropriate location, climbing, locking in, ladder safety, and returning the ladder to storage.
