[@jerrywhitehead9921]

Not a firefighter but your videos are both interesting and very educational. Shows us the average Joe what extensive training you guys go through. And I'm sure your videos have saved lives keep up the good work thank you for your service

[@wesrobinson7366]

Thank you so much Dale, I am doing some bailout training next week. This was great to get me comfortable ahead of time.

[@rjrestorationstation4402]

Excellent series of videos Dale. I’m a retired Chauffeur from NC. 👍 I’m passing them on to my “other family” for training. Thanks and stay safe Bob

[@DALEGPEKEL]

Thanks Bob - Hope you enjoy a long, happy and healthy retirement Brother!

R & J Restoration Station is a chauffeur the same thing as a engineer?

[@rjrestorationstation4402]

Jerry Whitehead Yes sir. Spent most of my career as an engine company engineer. Did a stint on a ladder company. It was the best job in the world. I do miss the funny antics at the station. I was fortunate to have worked with some really awesome people. Our department is 9 stations with an ISO rating of #1. Pretty cool.

R & J Restoration Station thanks for the info! And thank you for your service

[@likeabossss463]

you can also take the poker end f the axe and use that as an anchor point as well on a roof and attach the VRS to the head of the axe on the side of the top of the roof

Hey Dale what is the name of this rope set up I tried looking it up on Amazon to buy it but I couldn’t find it.

[@DALEGPEKEL]

The rope is Sterling FireTech 32 - The DCD is a Sterling F4, the Anchor hook is a CMC Flashlite (which is no longer made) The CMC Flash2 and FlashG are the replacements.

@@DALEGPEKEL Hey Dale, is there any way you could forward those plans to me as well? My department could definitely put them to good use. Thanks for all the videos!

[@Balsero-qb9gv]

So I hav gotten my system yet but I will have it in my left pants pocket do you still prefer the left side anchor most the time still or will I have to switch to doing it right sided

[@DALEGPEKEL]

Ben it's really not critical what side you carry your system on or which side you decide you want to anchor off of. However if you're going to keep your system on your left I would make the right side your primary "go to" anchor side. In a worse case scenario you will set the anchor hook with your right hand which will keep your left break/control hand on the same side that your system is stored (left pants pocket) - This will allow for a faster rappel/descent since the rope won't be coming across your body. All this being said; In the end you need to practice anchoring off of both the left and the right sides of a window and be equally proficient as you never know what you will be presented with.

Dale, thank you for all you do for the fire service! Where did you get the shortened roof ladder?

[@DALEGPEKEL]

I cut it down from a damaged 24 foot extension ladder. You can actually have ladders made to whatever size and length you want. On my career FD we had a couple of 7 foot roof ladders custom made for short gable roofs and high window sill entries - They were made and purchased from Duo Safety in Wisconsin. Here's a link to their website: www.duosafety.com/

Super Ausbildung, funktioniert das auch bei einem Hochhaus von 16 Etagen oder wie in Frankfurt am Main in Deutschland aus der obersten Etage des Messeturms?????

[@DALEGPEKEL]

Unsere Systeme sind 40 Fuß lang - Dies ermöglicht es dem Benutzer, das System aus einer 4. Etage zu entfalten und immer noch den Boden zu erreichen. Bei höheren Gebäuden, wo das Seil nicht auf den Boden gelangt, kann das System noch aus dem Feuerboden oder Boden über dem Feuer auf einen Boden unten eingesetzt werden. In den USA sind die meisten dieser Arten von Systemen 40 - 50 Fuß lang, da das Tragen von Seil länger in der Länge schwierig wäre.

[@brandonh9598]

Are there any bail out devices that could get two firefighters out at once?

[@DALEGPEKEL]

Not specifically, but there are systems and components that could handle and control the weight of 2 FFs

[@brandonh9598]

DALE G. PEKEL ok thanks I was just wondering. Do you think you could make a video about that?

[@DALEGPEKEL]

Ha, Ha!! - Good one IB, but I think KZbin would shut me down if I posted a video like that :)

[@firemanj35]

Dale where's you email so I can get those plans?
