If a ladder is properly placed, this is useless.

If a ladder is properly placed, this is useless.

I was thinking the same thing. A ladder placed for egress will be centered and level with the sill. Not one of the lights would appear from inside the window. Good idea, just not usual if ladders are placed correctly.

While correct, with a roof operation it may be an idea, not one that I'll spend 150.00 on, but still an idea. Simple, flourescent and refective paint will do the trick just fine.

How about a bright hand light that's already on the rig? Bring an extra one to the roof, turn it on, and leave it where the ladder is. For entry through a window leave one on the floor at the window. Also.. Those c-cell LED ones can be carried in your pocket. Even if the smoke banks down, if it's a bit clear a few inches off the floor some of the light can get through. It works for me.

If your looking for lights for the ladder, how about using something like an ACR Firefly tie-wrapped to the ladder rail tip?
They're cheap, tough, waterproof, easy to turn on and off and the battery life is quite long.

I had a firefly attached to every life jacket I had on my boat...About 20 of them in all. They can literally be seen for miles. They would make finding the ladder much, much easier, even in dense smoke conditions.

SPAM?

[KEEPBACK200FEET]

Of course, Gonz. That's all I know how to fry, so if you want something better, then you better call Superchef!

of you nay sayers...


i have been doing this (ff) for 15 years..I have looked over this little gem of a product.


You need to look at the tip of your ground ladders and compare it to the pictures on the literature on the website www.ladderlocator.com .

The placement of 2-3" max of the tip over the window sill really will not make a hoot of a difference to the guy trying to get out the window. It is not going to cause the ladder to become unstable.

Before you are a nay sayer...investigate..

This little item will help our folks find that window when things are going bad.

If you have not tryed it..do not knock it. Buy a set...place it on your most used ladder and only then give your feed back.

[KEEPBACK200FEET]

Yea yea, we just dont appreciate spam around these parts.

I do keep up with new and innovative ideas. For example, why I attend college. I don't have to prove myself to anyone, especially you, so don't worry about how much "time I have in the bucket". That attitude won't get you very far around here. Before you go bashing me, you should ask yourself "How much time do I have on these forums?". Have a nice night.

You best check your tone..bud. These boards are not for produc advertisment, or FST Classifieds. So yes...this be spam. While we can understand that new ideas/products are coming out..don't advertise.

Thanks PFD.

ANYONE who shows up with no prior history (No previous posts) and claims to have the greatest thing since sliced bread is looked upon with a great deal of skepticisim. Probably once in a while it really isn't warranted, but we've been burned (no pun intended) too often by snake oil salesmen, so we look long and hard at things. Also, the Terms of Service Agreement for using this site is very clear on prohibiting members from promoting products that they have a business connection with. Everyone is acting civil, and we don't rattle cages unnecessarily, so nobody's asking the WT to check this out. But be cautious about giving the apperance of selling something on the Forums.

i only post on forums when i have somthing to say that means something to me...I am not here to stir ****. I am mostly a reader.


I ..just like everyone else...review new things...the guy that posted this originally probably thought it was worth sharing...I feel that is EXACTLY what this forum is for.


So the Aerialscope thread...the guys that are strongly endoring its uses and advantages..are they selling, indirectly, for Seagrave / Aerialscope? I hate to say it but yes. They are sharing their feelings. I was doing just the same.


do not smack trkcoemt around for it. he/she may be a probie and new to the forum. he/she just shared a concept and did not actively or aggressively market / try to sell the unit...one post..that was all..nothing more..


why insult someone for sharing and that is what you are doing, maybe not intentionally..but you are.

[trkcoEMT]

not new to the fire service but only sharing...sorry for stirring ****..

OK I am not quite sure how this is considered SPAM but whatever.

I don' tknow about each one of your companies but @ my house we use a simple thing called scothlite tape, works extremely well. And it is very cheap compared to the ladder locator. We have it on all sides of the ladder for 18 inches from the tip down. It is actually a sight to see on a roof they are lite up like christmas trees with all of the warning lights reflecting off of them. I realize that having the new gadget to some means they are the better than the next company, but I personally don't see a need for this product.

Stay Safe and keep looking for those ladders, good luck.
