[quote name='edburke' post='198679' date='Mar 21 2008, 14:22 ']Why would you take a ladder out of an area with a higher fire load, and consequently, a higher likelihood of being first or second due to a fire to cover an area with a lower fire load? While Ladder 28 being OOS is definitely an issue, juggling your companies in order to play percentages is never a smart move. What I don't understand is why Boston just didn't contact another MetroFire community and borrow a spare truck for a few days a la the Medford Tower Ladder example a few years ago.[/quote]
Here's a good article that explains it all....
