How many dept's have snare poles on any on their rigs? I saw one on another dept's engine and thought that it was a good idea. We had a dryer fire a few weeks ago and the home filled with smoke, then we had to find the family's cat and I wish I would have had that pole that day. We found the cat, then chased it into a bed room with little smoke in it and opened the window.

We dont use a snare pole. Basically we have never saw a use for one however I have been proven wrong beforeDo not let the ghosts of our fallen brothers gaze upon you and ask " What have you done to my profession?" FTB DTRT EGH -
Years ago my father was a reserve police officer. He rushed home one afternoon to construct a snare pole with which to control a dog belonging to a couple involved in an auto accident. The dog wouldn't let rescuers access the patients.
I can't say that there have been any instances I can remember when we've needed one, but I also know we should never say never.
And animal control is never available when you need them.Opinions my own. Standard disclaimers apply.
