Dave, you aren't going to volunteer to be the rescue dummy are you? :shocked:
lots of lightweight ladders used to crawl out there?
thankfully in my home town the town across the river, across the not so big bridge, in NJ had an outstanding
Rescue squad. And they knew how to come flying across that bridge with the traffic blocked for them.
They still provide primary rescue squad services across state line, kind of interesting actually. Volunteer of course, which is
why it works...And this way our local fire company did not have to duplicate services, and could build a nice new firehouse and get a
new hundred foot ladder truck. That used to have to come across the River also from NJ, but I think they started to worry about the old bridge taking
that kind of beating, so the handwriting was on the wall, get your own ladder. And we did. I never trained on that, after I left. Good thing, I hate heights.
when I was active, we had an insurance agent(me), a real estate agent (my partner), a vet doc whose office was across the street from the firehouse, and our office was a block away. So we usually had the first and second truck out. And I never had to crawl out on ice. I think that is what the smaller, lighter weight guys are for, right?
