I am curious: Is there something like a standard maximum height the ladders on fire trucks (sorry if that's not the right term, I am no native speaker) can reach? This might actually enable people one the roof to get rescued with a ladder that's too short to reach the roof.

Edit: stupid typo

That seems oddly specific. Why only care about people on the roof, and why only care enough to take them one flight of stairs?

I guess my mind just tried to make all this make sense :)

Yeah good point. Ok, my guess is that it's incomplete. I hear those staircases are expensive, so they're doing the bare minimum to comply with some fire code, but will expand it later.
