I the dept is going to implent and order FF's to carry this equipment with them, then again, you follow orders. If you can't follow the orders, then there should be no "exterior" it should be out the door. You made the commitment to the FD and it is still a paramilitary organization, whether career or volly. If the dept is saying to take the training, then by all means you take the training, despite what one wants to do. There is a ladder bailout, which may be quicker than a rope system in some cases, there is a way to use a search rope to bailout, there is breaching and so on. I would recommend that your dept would take a RIT and FF self rescue type of class before implementing one bailout system. ![]() Basically concentrating on one system may limit other ways of getting out. Thing is, there are a lot of tools in the toolbox and to concentrate on a single bail out rope system may not be the best or safest answer. Are you in an area with a lot of highrises? There is no such thing as "exterior" only firefighters on my dept, so I'm guessing you are on a volly dept.
