Today, he got some truck work in Worcester. Thanks to Paul for letting me share these photos I hope.

Real nice shots of the Ladders placements, but weren't there any Engines on scene?

Seriously, Engines can stretch hose, Ladders can't stretch ladders.

oh ya, there were engines there. Worcester always makes sure there is plenty of room for aerial placement. The engine has more length of hose then the ladders are long!

Say what you want about Massachusetts, but you can't beat their aggressive laddering.

Well there is alot i want to say about Mass. being a Yankee fan but, i wouldnt call this aggressive laddering i'd call it Ladder placement 101. Get the engines the hell out the way and stretch the hose leave the front of the building for the trucks. Isnt that SOP for everybody?
