Who is the fireman at the base of the ladder? No comment on the length of the ladder.
No wonder they won't let you teach Truck Company classes.
WOW a 20 ft wooded roof ladder, like to see something like that thrown today, that would send a few people to rehab
That was a 20' straight ladder and I raised it by may self. You have to remeber all the ladders on the old truck 53 were wooden. Ask me today to raise that ladder and yes I would be in rehab.
