3/3 While undergoing the bend & hardware tests, ladders must return to their original shape, within a specific tolerance, after the load is removed. These tests can exhibit upwards of 1000lbs of force on some parts of the of ladders.

2/3 These tests are completed to ensure the safety of our firefighters when operating on a fire ground or training ground. Testing involves a complete and detailed visual inspection of all parts of each individual ladder along with a bend test and hardware test.

3/3 for their latest awareness campaign, they've provided the fire service w/decals to be placed on apparatus so we always know help is just a phone call away. We are proud to display these & show support for a incredible team who thankfully, are always just a phone call away

1/3 You may not have heard of them, but in the fire service, this team is well known province wide. @BridgetownFire along with many, many other departments in Nova Scotia continue to support the work the Nova Scotia Fire Service Critical Incident Stress Management Team does.
