"Where was ladder 75.

It looks like the rig was around the block. They were assigned Fast as they got into the job. they were shortly reassigned to checking/protecting the 200+ Y/O Church (interior), which was a major concern. I agree the TL should have been used over ladderpipes....But I'm just a blue shirt.
