Dont go on the roof. I will try to find the article, but there was a series of experiments done a while back about this. It was discovered that even using a roff ladder on some steeper metal roofs wonts work because the hooks will slip and pull over the ridge. Same problem exist on spanish tile roofs. VERY slippery when wet. I try to find the articla and share with you. I agree. Dont go on the roof. I will try to find the article, but there was a series of experiments done a while back about this.

Team Leader (Officer)-Leads and directs the team, carries thermal imager. Communicates status to Command during the RIT operation. Driver-Air/Nav, last man in, secures search rope to unmovable anchor at entry point. Follows team into building, moves up only on command of Officer. When down FF is located hands off rope to Officer. He then moves upto down FF with spare air and assists one of the Search FF’s with converting down FF to spare air pack and changing over SCBA waist strap to allow for movement of the down FF. Nozzle and Hydrant/Irons FF’s-First in the door. These two make up the Search FF’s.Their mission is to move forward rapidly and efficiently to find the down FF. They should never be further than “Voice Contact” from the Team Leader. They split a set of “Irons” between them. One carries the axe and one the haligan (High-Speed, Low-Drag)When the down FF is located the other search FF, the one not helping with SCBA conversion, searches for an alternative means of exit (door, window, etc.) that is close by. All team members carry radio and flashlight. Comment by Craig Ammons June 26, 2009 In Escambia County we assign our personnel to RIT in the following manner.
