We're in the final stages of specing out our tower ladder and we're running into 2 options for ground ladders that are causes some healthy arguments. First of we're a small department consisting of 6 firefighters per. We have an area of town with a lot of triple deckers(we're a northeast mill town) another area with a apartment complex (5 buildings) whihc are 3 stories. the rest of the town is a mix of ranches and colonials. Option A- 40' with poles, 35', 28',20' roof, 16' roof, 14' fresno, 10; folding.
Option B- 2-35', 2-28',20' roof, 16' roof, 14' fresno, 10; folding
Option A's supporters want it for rescue capabilities on the 3rd floor of the complexs and the triple deckers
Option B's supporters feel the 40' will take too much man power and will never be used, and feel that more 28's and 35's will fit us better operationally. and both of those ladder should reach a 3rd floor if needed.
please help! Your opinions will help and may include facts not though of.
