Default Fire Departments Suck on ladders.

Best I could find at Home Depot or Lowes was 40 foot for $350.00 and
that was only rated for 250 lbs. Don't know what the fire ladders are
rated for, but that would seem low by the time you get a FF, gear and a
rescuee on the ladder.

They claim to be the oldest supplier of fire ladders in North America. They
further state that all their extension and roof ladders are rated for 750lbs
with a 4:1 safety factor. I don't think you'll be buying one of these at the
borg.
