135 Ladder Pitch | A Look at How London Firefighters Operate

The 135 ladder is one of the most essential pieces of equipment carried on all frontline pump ladder appliances across the London Fire Brigade, and pitching it requires precision, teamwork, and clear communication. In this video, Firefighter Tony Durham from Harrow Fire Station’s Red Watch—based in Northwest London—leads a textbook demonstration of how our firefighters work together to pitch a 135 ladder safely and efficiently. Every role is crucial, and every command matters, ensuring the ladder is pitched swiftly and securely in real-world incidents. This video also demonstrates the words of command used at each stage of the ladder pitch, showing how clear communication ensures firefighters work in sync to get the ladder up safely and effectively. 🚨 IMPORTANT: THIS IS AN INSIGHT VIDEO NOT A TRAINING GUIDE. - it’s designed to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the teamwork and technique that go into ladder pitching rather than serve as formal instruction. The process shown reflects standard London Fire Brigade procedures, but operational conditions may vary. Did you know? In addition to the 135, all pump ladders carry a 9m ladder, another vital kit used in different firefighting scenarios. 🎥 New videos every Friday!
