In case you wondered too: Here’s what Seattle Fire Ladder 13 was doing in the Lincoln Park forest

Thanks to Kersti Muul for the photos! Seattle Fire‘s Ladder 13, based at Station 37 in Sunrise Heights, was seen with its ladder extended in upper Lincoln Park this afternoon. No calls logged to the area, so we asked SFD what they were doing.

Reply from spokesperson David Cuerpo: “They were doing a training exercise utilizing the aerial ladder for a rope rescue. Pulling up a Stokes basket.”

    Can’t they find another location for this exercise other than the park?

      What’s the concern?

      Why, you have a problem with training that may help you or a loved one someday?  The tall trees and limited access may have been sought out for real life scenarios because you know, life happens.
