I saw that too but wonder if the ground ladder was in the process of being thrown. Another thought would be with that wooden stick cranked out all the way, it may have been there to give support to the stick.
Look at all the Bangor ladders that were thrown!! Very good Truck Company work by the members. Now days you probably would have to have two companies to throw a Bangor ladder due to the manpower cut backs.
As a former Safety Officer I may not have pooped in my pants, but may have in someone else’s!!!!
