How many calls does the Ladder Truck respond to each year?
The ladder truck is on our response card for virtually every type of 288 fire calls we might receive. Each call requires different tactical needs and the ladder is equipped to accomplish certain tasks that other apparatus may not. For example, the aerial would be used to extricate a person from a second floor window instead of a ground ladder because it is often unsafe to lean a ground ladder against a burning or unstable structure.
