F.T.I. Instructors demonstrating the hang and drop. If a firefighter doesnt carry a bailout kit or doesn't have time to deploy one and have to bail out of a window, the hang and drop can be extremely useful. In the video Instructor Pete Morotto is giving key tips for utilizing this maneuver. While Instructors Derek Currao demonstrates: 1) by exiting the window low you protect you head and face from high heat at the top of the window frame 2) after getting out of the window, by hooking a foot on the sill and holding with one hand the firefighter is in a relatively safe position in regards to the fire and heat. If need be they can stay in this position until a ground ladder arrives. 3) if the firefighter needs to drop, by hanging by both hands notice how much lower the firefighter is and how much shorter the fall is to the ground. Now remember for higher windows this may not prevent injuries, but can be the difference between serious injury or death and some bumps and bruises. #firetraininginnovations #dtrt #firefighter #liveburn #supressionthroughagression #brotherhood ...
