Abstract

See full text

A fire fighting apparatus includes a frame supported by wheels and a sectioned ladder assembly mounted on the frame for movement between stored and raised positions. The sections of the ladder assembly extend and retract. A waterway on the ladder assembly includes a fluid inlet connection and a water outlet structure for directing pressurized fluid. A lock member is operable to connect the waterway and a top ladder section so that the water outlet structure moves with the top ladder section as the top ladder section extends and retracts and to disconnect the waterway from the top ladder section to enable the water outlet structure to remain substantially stationary with respect to an adjacent ladder section as the top section extends and retracts. A control mounted on the frame at a location remote from the ladder assembly controls the lock member.
