That is weird race event...

A ladder is a vertical or inclined set of rungs or steps. There are two types: rigid ladders that can be leaned against a vertical surface such as a wall, and rope ladders that are hung from the top. The vertical members of a rigid ladder are called beams (US) or stiles (UK). With a bit of agility, one can slide down the stiles without climbing down each rung. Rigid ladders are usually portable, but some types are permanently fixed to buildings.Rigid ladders were originally made of wood, but in the 20th century tubular aluminium became more common because of its lighter weight. Ladders with fiberglass stiles are used for working on or near overhead electrical wires, because fibreglass is an electrical insulator.

  • Useful my friend, not weird!

    This a race designed to enhance the ability of firemen to display a quick response and help people trapped in buildings. That is why they run with ladders.

    • Quite amazing...

      But how do they get back down? I realize that it's a competition and they have other means of getting back down, but if this is some kind of excercise to become better fire fighters they are going to be in trouble when they arrive at the top window where the fire is and no where to run :/

    • Thank you for your comment!

      My dear KaiSan, they still have the ladders, and besides that, there are different ways to leave a building on fire, for instance your fellow firemen assisting you.
      Remember, firefighting is a team effort.

  • not designed as a display

    this was designed originally in new york as a way for firefighters to climb the first skyscrapers as the buildings were taller than any ladder trucks could reach it was not a race just a way to save lives they came down the same way they came up

  • no way

    this has nothing to do with firefighting. I'd like to see these guys go up those ladders with that much speed and agility in full clad firegear, with tank, coat, boots!
