Philadelphia fire truck ladder A was dispatched to a fire at 1776 Philadelphia Street because of the report of a building fire in an apartment complex. Truck A is advised that a ladder bucket will also be needed to rescue a ten-year-old little girl who is trapped in her apartment on the twelfth floor of the building. When ladder A arrives, B is crying for help from her apartment window.
All of the lower-level floors are fully engulfed with flames and thick black smoke which is now covering up a large section of the building and most of B who has been leaning out of the window and is choking and gasping for air. If B is not rescued within 5 minutes, she will likely succumb to the smoke and fire.
Fortunately, Philadelphia fire truck ladder A was the first truck on the east coast to be equipped with the new 360-degree Anti-Carcinogen Air Force-Field Ladder Bucket System. The bucket opens up into a 6x6 platform and overhead mount which can hold two firemen and three people who would be insulated within a protectively enclosed 360-degee force field of air and/or water.
Several powerful export vents attached to and around the platform are used to blast smoke and fire away from the firemen and victim's insider of the Aerial as it is lifted into or away from the fire and smoke zones. The force is supplied by a tank system under the platform which is able to supply several minutes of continuous 360-degrees of air force-field protection. Additionally, the overhead aerial platform may be reinforced to prevent falling debris such as glass and bricks from injuring ascending and descending firefighters and rescued individuals.
Adjacent to each of the air export enclosures are second opening enclosures which can export a controlled water supply from a hose and pipe system. This system may work in conjunction with the aerial enclosure protection inside of the bucket. Two firemen are lifted up to the twelfth floor.
However, as they near the window to extract girl B, large plumes of black smoke drift out of several building windows below the bucket and upwards directly below B’s apartment, totally engulfing the firemen and making it nearly impossible to see anything. One of the firemen activates the system which creates a massive air bubble clearing around the ladder and the heroes are able to safely rescue the trapped little girl B.
