Comment by Ian Bruzenak on April 22, 2010 at 9:58pm: The placement of the Tacoma ladder in the C side roof is outstanding. 1- its a safe way off the roof away from the invloved units. 2- if conditions had gotten worse and visibility on the roof reduced the ladder almost covers one complete side of the roof (stops me from falling off) where a FF would run right into the ladder and not have to be searching for it. 3- the easy transition on and off the ladder on the roof can not be stressed enough. 4- obvious extensive training for placement to match the pitch of the roof. If your on a truck take notes on this.
