I understand what you mean but I meant in the situation where you'd be using the hose that's attached to the ladder or someone on the ladder with a hose anyway. Someone would be operating that regardless and so you wouldn't really be taking someone away from a different job because it's the same job ?
I might be confusing myself so I'm just going to accept I'm wrong lol
The ladders are dual purpose and the drones fail to deliver on one of those very important purposes. To save people who are trapped and hanging out of windows.
You can still have a hose on the ladder, this could just be used in awkward spots or whatever when needed. I'm not saying for the drone to replace anything completely just as another tool/add-on that can be used when needed.
Yea but the whole point of the conversation above was that it would only be a good addition IF its used as an addition with extra personnel. Not as a replacement for a tower or ladder. There are zero scenarios where replacing a ladder and the 1500 gallon per minute master stream on it with a drone with a 50 gallon per minute stream with no ladder is a good idea.
If you use the ladder and have a specialized unit for the drones, then it can be useful.
