Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) conducted weight, strength and resiliency tests on approximately 50 ladders for their annual ladder safety testing at the Montgomery County Rescue Squad Station on June 8. Every ladder associated with County Volunteer Fire Services was tested during a six-hour timeframe.
“This is the first time we have tested all ladders for our fire trucks on the same day,” said Director of EMA Ed Baggett. “It used to take us weeks to do the testing by manually using sandbags and a pulley system. This year we opted to use a company that specialized in ladder testing, the same company used by our friends with the Clarksville Fire Department.”
