Very interesting video. I can't believe they're using a ladder that was made 92 years ago! Amazing. I wonder how much more a wooden ladder weighs compared to our aluminum ladders.

I just saw the video. I had heard that San Fransisco used wooden ladders but didn't realize why or how long they last. Wouldn't it be greatif more of our equipment lasted 92 years.

Do any other departments use wooden ladders at all.

there's info on SFFD's ladder shop and some weight comparisons between wood and aluminum.
