Ladder 1

Ladder 1 is a type of fire truck equipped with a large extendable ladder used by firefighters. It allows them to reach high places such as upper floors of buildings during rescues or firefighting efforts. The ladder can extend vertically and sometimes sideways, providing a safe platform for people to escape or firefighters to have a better vantage point. Ladder 1 is typically assigned to respond to significant emergencies involving tall structures, and it also carries rescue tools and equipment to assist in various rescue scenarios.
