The wooden ladders were traditional back in the early 1800's when firedepartments first started appearing in the u.s now they most departments use aluminum type ladders
My understanding from when I went through training is that wooden ladders are still popular in California. I'm not sure why. We use aluminum on the east coast.
Obviously, because, they are non-electric conductive, they dont melt like an aluminum would, and its tradition, even though they cost thousands of dollars per ladder
How the fuck does a firemen get traped in that small ass house? And why the fuck is everyone sprayin water from the outside? Attic fires should be preatty straight forward, you get in you do salvage you pull ceiling, you put up an inside ladder and you put the fire out.
At 1:04, it seemed he didnt check to make sure the roof was sound. Tough to tell cause the video jumped to another scene.

@jakclutch What a critical little bitch you are. Gotta gripe at the guy even when you yourself admit you didn't see everything.
