OUT OF THE BUCKET - The bucket does not go all the way to the ground on most trucks, so rescuers must hoist the victim out of the bucket and lower him to the ground. After attaching the blocks to the harness, linemen on the truck bring the top boom 6 to 7 ft. out from the truck and go to the ground. Linemen Kyle Robinett (right) and Adam Brandt pull together to hoist the victim (Roy Dolezal) out of the bucket.
