Fire truck ladders are controlled by a series of joysticks and rely heavily on user experience. Firefighters spend time operating the ladder instead of performing other necessary tasks, time that should not be wasted because it can mean the difference between life or death of many people. At EmergenTek, we aim to reduce fire truck ladder placement time by automating the process and reducing the number of tasks the firefighters must perform during a rescue. A successful outcome is characterized by reducing the deployment time and user dependence and increasing the efficiency of fire crews when on the scene of a rescue, as well as increasing the accuracy, reliability, and stability of the ladder placement. Our efficient device reduces human error and results in a faster and safer ladder placement which will save many lives and property value all over the world.
