MILTON, Ga. — Last week, the Milton Fire Department hosted firefighters from all around North Georgia for Apparatus Operator-Aerial training.
The training focused on how to drive and operate ladder trucks.
Aerial ladder trucks are used to reach high places, allowing firefighters to get closer to a blaze while their truck engine is a safe distance away.
The training happened Monday through Friday with both written and practical assessments.
A passing rate of 70% was required for the written portion, while a perfect score was necessary for practical skills.
Departments that participated included Johns Creek, Roswell, Smyrna, Austell, and Hall Counties.
