1 West Metro Fire Protection District Tower Task Book Developing Firefighter Instructions This is the Tower Task Book you will be required to complete during your one month rotation on a Tower. While it is the intent for you to learn Tower operations, procedures, and functions during your assignment; you can learn these items regardless of the apparatus you re working on. You will remain permanently assigned to the station for one month but you may be asked to rove in order to meet the staffing needs of the district. Throughout this time it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure this portion of your task book is completed. Working at a Tower company provides you with a unique opportunity to learn about very specialized areas of the fire service. You will learn about Tower placement and operations, advanced forcible entry techniques, how to utilize different ground ladders, ventilation techniques, search techniques, and extrication. At the completion of this rotation, you will be expected to have an understanding of a Tower s capabilities and limitations. You will be taught how Towers operate as a team with engine companies and how West Metro utilizes these very specialized apparatus and crews. Page 1 of 13
