I haven't seen that folding ladder. I have pondered your question before. If I had to get a job done and thought that I could do it in a safe way even though it may not match what we are taught, I would do it. In training first and then maybe at a fire.

I have hooked a roof ladder on a roof ladder and then tied it off. I have used an extension ladder from the ground and up the roof at a very low angle (Matching the roof pitch). The ladder would be mechanically footed. There is a thirty foot roof ladder available. You would of course need a long rig to put it on.

The most common solution that my old crew has done tons of times is work from the ridge down via aerial. We carry a six foot roof ladder on the top fly (Along with our twenty foot double ended ladder). Usually we are venting at the highest point so we don't necessarily have to come down to the gutter line. So the roof ladder does not have to match the length of the roof.

You could bounce your folding ladder off of the manufacturers, but they are very conservative and don't really like to change anything.

Who did your assessment center?
