*SOP HOUSE
The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) HOUSE is a guideline for training and operations and summarizes all important steps needed in order to quickly and correctly position aerial appliances. The SOP helps to reduce stress levels of crews during operations. The SOP is the standard reference for the training of aerial appliances crews and was authored by the founders of the information portal DREHLEITER.info. To date, the SOP has been issued in English, French, Spanish and Italian.
The SOP can be used for cases of human rescue; optional escape routes, safe and alternative retreats; firefighting and technical assistance. It is applicable to all aerial appliances in fire service, aerial ladders or elevated work platforms, and functions independently of the manufacturer and year of manufacturing.
