I found this on another newsgroup and thought it would be of interest here
It has to do with wooden ladders and fire departments. I suppose that might be of concern to homeowners. I thought it was pretty cool. :-)

Excellent piece. Thanks for sharing!
One thing the video failed to mention is why it is better than aluminum or steel.
Metals lose their strength quickly when heated. Wood doesn't. It will remain strong until it is burned heavily thru.
That was a good piece. > >> I found this on another newsgroup and thought it would be of interest >> here >> >>
