January 2008 Corrosion Warning Update

Working “hand and hand”, Duo-Safety Ladder and Fire Service Safety Testing, Inc. have continued to explore our findings of “ rivet head” failure from corrosion. It appears it is a result of excessive moisture and/or road salt. As a result, Duo-Safety Ladder has requested we replace the affected rivets especially, but not limited to, ladders manufactured during the years 1995, 1996, and 1997.

See our reflectors in use!

On Jan. 28, 2006, the Brighton Fire Department battled a blaze at a residence. Two firefighters were injured and a dog was removed from the structure. No one was home at the time. Reflectors installed on the ladders by FSST can be clearly seen In these photos from the Monroe County Fire Wire website.

On Dec. 22, 2005, the Bushnell's Basin Fire Department conducted an ice rescue of a man who fell down a slope and ended up on the frozen Erie Canal.  Ground ladders were used to facilitate the rescue. Reflectors installed on the ladders by FSST can be clearly seen In this photo from the Monroe County Fire Wire website.
