  • @RALEIGHFD SFFD has plenty of ladder trucks, but in many instances there are too many live wires overhead (for the transit system) to be able to use them.

  • Great co-ordination and team work!

  • @gotogal11 now i see

  • @Buzard9696 yep

  • @RALEIGHFD Now was that a serious question?

  • It takes a whole truck company to raise this mammoth beast! You guys have to call out an addition truck company just to raise ladders. Good way to keep the manpower up.

  • We had an opld mack with a bangor ladder just like that. Never used it because it was to heavy andlike the video took way too many FF to put it up.

  • 350 lbs a wooden ladder 50ft

  • @ffairlane57 Your ladder is for housekeep. The FD ladders are suppose told take more weight and abuse that your ladder would be able to take. More studier= more weight. Most firemen can throw a 24 ft ladder with gear on. Not to mention the gear adds at least an extra 40lbs.

  • @coolsax64 , no I'm not fucking stupid.

    I'm thinking maybe takes three guys to lift it up.

    I don't own one so I have no idea how much it weighs. thanks for your insight, perhaps you are familiar with one. Next time, chill out.

  • @ffairlane57 Are you fucking stupid?
