    > Have you ever pondered what the big ladders on firetrucks are for The tallest ladders in the FDNY's inventory go up to 100'. (They were testing a 300' rig, but I don't know if it was deployed.) They aren't designed to recover people from burning skyscrapers.

      Most buildings in NY are less than ten stories tall. You don't have to exit from the floor you live on.
