How to play
You'll see a reference ladder raised to a target reach. Pick a different ladder and dial it (with + / −) to match the same reach.
- Match exactly — full points (100)
- 1 ft off — partial credit (60). With 3-section ladders, your closest possible config still scores full credit.
- Tap NO MATCH if no ladder on your rig can reach the target.
- Faster commits earn bonus points — up to +20 in the first 8 seconds.
The math
All aluminum fire ladders are 14 inches between rungs. Wood ladders are 12 inches. This demo is based on aluminum ladders.
Reach = total rungs × 14/12 ft, rounded.
Two ladders set to the same total rung count reach the same height.
Ladders
- 50' (3-section)
- 17r bedded · max 48' (+24r / 12 clicks of 2r each)
- 40' (3-section)
- 14r bedded · max 40' (+20r / 10 clicks of 2r each)
- 35' (3-section)
- 13r bedded · max 35' (+18r / 9 clicks of 2r each)
- 35' (extension)
- 17r bedded · max 35' (+13r raised = 30r total)
- 28' (extension)
- 14r bedded · max 28' (+10r raised = 24r total)
- 24' (extension)
- 12r bedded · max 24' (+9r raised = 21r total)
- 20' / 16' / 14' (straight)
- Fixed height (17r / 14r / 12r). No fly section.
