  • The San Francisco Fire Department is one of the only departments in the world that builds its own wooden ladders. They use wood for many reasons in San Francisco. See why they make their own ladders and the history of many of these wooden ladders that are more than 100 years old.

    Please note that our former corporation, Dalmatian Productions, Inc., created this video in April 2010, when we spent 4 days with the great members of the SFFD! They went out of their way to accommodate and include us. Narrating this video is our late partner and dear friend, Joel Connable. Joel was a multi-Emmy Award winning news anchor and an honor to have as a partner and friend. This video was nominated for a Suncoast Emmy Award in 2010. Our sincere appreciation to all the members of the SFFD and our hosts at Station 7.

    Great video. Lead fire instructor sent me here. I was very surprised how long a correctly constructed wooden ladder can last. Amazing

    Use to build and also fix and tag wooden ladders
    here in New Zealand for the fire brigade …now they buy Aluminium ladder from
    the UK …
    The power board here in NZ now buy fiberglass ones,
    instead of the timber one that they use to have from Australia …welcome to the
    21 century …

    Cure for 15 years? That sounds like a little to long of a time. Especially today with "machines" that can cure wood rather quickly.

      It’s taxpayer funded. Three guys probably have to supervise the entire time.
