Truck Company
What Is A Truck Company?
Truck companies are sometimes called ladder" companies, "hook-and-ladder" companies, "aerial" companies, and "snorkel" companies. Suchlabels might partially describe ladder company apparatus, but they do noteven hint at the planning, personnel, equipment and training that arecoordinated in an efficiently operating ladder company. A ladder truck and a
driver do not make a ladder company, any more than a pumper and a drivermake an engine company.
The ladder company provides access to, and exits for, all parts of a firebuilding. Ladder company crews also are responsible for removing heat,smoke and gases to allow greater visibility and permit engine companycrews to move rapidly and safely within a fire building or exposed buildings.These examples do not by any means include all the duties of a laddercompany, but they do illustrate two important points about ladder companywork.
1. Ladder work is required at every fire.2. Ladder operations either accompany or precede engine operations.

Engine Company OpsThe engine company officer/crew leader should begin gathering
information that will assist the crew(s) in stretching lines rapidly andaccurately to the fire area:
Incident scene radio transmissions from IC-Truck Crew
Type and location of stairways
Occupants location and best means of egress
Search area for victims
Attempt to determine the seat of the fire While gathering information concerning the hose line stretches for the primary
and secondary attack lines, the company officer/crew leader should be alert tobuilding occupants with information relative to persons trapped or distressed.Removing victims in immediate danger shall take precedence over advancingan attack line. Whenever possible, advancement of the attack line should beconducted simultaneously with the rescue of victims.
The selection of the size of the initial attack line shall be determined by theconditions evaluated on arrival. A back up line should be put into operationsas soon as possible, preferably the next larger hose line in case the initial linecannot flow the necessary water to control the fire.
