24 Ft. Single Firefighter Ladder Raise 

Some departments don't do it like that since it takes valuable seconds and will only provide the ladder with about 40lbs more carrying capacity. The ladder wont snap in half if it goes over 750lbs, it's just let manufacture instructions they recommend to flip the fly out for more weight security. Hope this helps

Daniel long - I noticed that too. I know some manufacturer ladders with fly under base...maybe this is one of them.

Nobody taught me how to set up a ladder. That's why I'm here, I'll probably just wait for my boss to get here and show me how to do it

Probably the fire academy. They teach us the most difficult way to raise the ladder.
