What's this?

(raises hand) ---- >

I got the assistance of a ladder truck on an in-progress shoot once. There were tilt wall and slab pours on site and we wanted to get all of the work and equipment in single frames. Coincidentally, a fire station was right across the road. We'd asked to park in their parking lot and in discussing that they actually volunteered to send a truck across to set up and take me up in their ladder bucket like the one shown. I guess we got up as high as 8-10 stories. Pretty kewl.

Very cool. Do you know if that was a volunteer or professional staff? -- Hokie360 02/11/2021 10:16AM

It was a VFD and they were actual firefighters. While that truck was onsite -- PhotoHokieNC 02/11/2021 10:22AM

Cool. Definitely wasn't implying the volunteers aren't "actual". -- Hokie360 02/11/2021 10:27AM

Got it. I guess I don't know the difference except those guys were real -- PhotoHokieNC 02/11/2021 10:29AM

Guy on the back of the ladder truck. -- Stork 02/11/2021 09:34AM
