I don't understand. I can go down to the store and buy a 60 foot
ladder for less than $200. I'd expect the fire department to have
ladders that are at least twice as long and maybe 3 times.

Please post the source for the $200 sixty foot ladders.

Here you go.

You may have to bargain with them a bit to get the price.
