In addition to our 4 77' sticks, we recently received our first platform, a mid-mount 70' Sutphen. If anyone has any decent training material or field drills specific to platforms, please point them my way. We have developed some good exercises for the stick operators, but are seeking platform info - there's no sense re-inventing the wheel.

We recently received our latest aerial platform. Went from a 75' stick to a 100' Rosenbauer midmount aerial platform. Thanks to these forums I made contact with Michael Bricault and Art Garcia from Albuquerque. Art came up and provided training with us for Ladder Co Ops and specifics to a midmount. We had a well established Truck co but Art refreshed us with some new ideas and helped with new tactics and techniques for using a midmount. His help will be seen for decades here. I am glad to be part of these forums.
