So. Much. Dumb. In my Fire Department we have Aerials. Those are those big trucks with the ladder with the big basket on the end. We have 2 75' and one 100'. The 100 is at the station where my office is. I'm in my office, plucking away at the ever growing mountain of paperwork and emails, when I hear what I can best describe as the "fire fighter frat" yell out in the apparatus bay. My office opens directly to this area, for quick dispatch. Not good in the winters when they leave the bay doors open, but whatever. I poke my head out to see a disaster. One of the fire fighters was in the aerial with the bucket raised...right into the ceiling. For those of you who aren't familiar, that's about $20k USD right there to repair the ceiling, due to the electronics there in having to also be replaced, and the track for the doors (which are now stuck in the open position) needing replaced as well in there. The ladder alone for the Aerial is also $50k. So yeah...fun times.
