The Milwaukee Cut has been the industry’s top performing ventilation method on the most challenging of roofs the nation has to offer. The majority of fires in Milwaukee are on 2 ½ story frames with 10 / 12 pitches and  spans of 20’ from gutter to ridge. The truck companies of Milwaukee have been conditioning their fire combatants for decades in the art of venting these structures. These truck operators share a common thread - they are resilient, fit, and technically sound. Their battle terrain demands no less. Peaked roof vent features instructors who have been raised in this culture and have been passing down its tenets to young Milwaukee firefighters for years. You have an opportunity to spend a shift with them and develop your venting skill sets. The first step towards a truck culture is to behave like a truck operator and lead by example.
