Ground fire ladders are about 35’ max. Aerial apparatus (trucks/quints) around the US are normally around 80-110 feet in length. My current tower rig is 85’, our next will be 105. Consider that is ladder length and the “true” height is really a hypotenuse on a right triangle with one side the building. We can generally reach most of our properties just fine, as our tallest is about 5 stories. However there are some across a river with access harder in front, and a ladder across the river is the way to go.
