I feel bad for the rookie that has to lay all that back in the truck. I hate the idea of laying in with a ladder truck

[@mrstrangetiger3228]

I usually see over 100+ comments saying "Now pick it back up" It's weird being the first comment. Interesting video tho.

[@timaahhh]

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

[@ffjsb]

This is a COMMON set up for many fire depts. so the question of "if they should" was answered long ago. Many FD's can't have both an engine and a ladder, thus the reason quints have been around since the 60's.

[@BassistFF]

Laying in with a ladder truck should be a felony

[@ffjsb]

Only being able to function in one mode all the time should be a felony. If you can't do more than one job, you might as well just be a door stop.

Good morning, and Happy Thanksgiving! We have this same model and are having issues with our hose lay. Can you provide a description and any points/issues that made your department choose the current set-up for forward lay? Any information would be appreciated to avoid pitfalls.
