In FDNY manuals, there are techniques to use ladders to: bridge over alleyways (also used over excavations), to replace burnt-out stairs, and to bridge over fences (utilizing two ladders lashed together).
E-One remains one of the few fire truck manufacturers to engineer and manufacture the cab, chassis, body and aerial in-house.
Aside from the obvious use of ladders for climbing, the use of ladders as a means of supporting a rope-based rescue system appears to have been born during the Second World War.

With a capacity of 18,000 gpm, think of Ferrara Fire Apparatus’ latest fire vehicle like a fully accessorized quick-attack truck designed to tackle fires as big as those in storage tanks.
Elkhart Brass made the new Magnum EXM to fit industrial aerials.
The Ward Diesel No Smoke 2 is an apparatus-mounted device that extracts particulate from diesel exhaust by means of a porous ceramic filter packed in a high-temperature cushion material and encased in stainless steel.

The new package includes dual submersible pumps, a Palfinger 9001-EH wireless remote control deployment crane, and a Caterpillar C9 diesel engine rated at 375 horsepower.
