Bought our first Sure Step to place on our Attack Company Engine. After a year of testing we ordered a second to go on our Truck Company Engine. Now we are purchasing a third for our Rescue Company. Reaching the conclusion the stability offered for roof, elevated and ladder duties, safely created an increased work platform critical on slate, clay and metal roofs. Sure Foot enables our firefighters to feel more stable with a wider work stance, able to work faster with enhanced safety. This should be required equipment for all truck company ops.

Not a bad idea, but check out the ""ROS"" platform designed by Michigan Firefighters. A little more money but it attaches to your roof ladder thus reducing an extra trip down. It only ways 16 lbs and is OSHA compliant and a little wider. We have 5 on them on our dept

This product has great use for the safety of the team. Realistically, we are not in favor of having to carry any more than needed but for this particular part of the job, the Surefoot Safety Step minimizes risks and provides the necessary support. I would recommend every fire department have one or more.

We have used this Ladder Platform to quickly obtain secure footing during roof top operations. It requires minimal time to set up, and frees traditional handtools used for this purpose. Lt. Shirk Hooks & Hooligans

This is a great product for roof ventilation! It is light weight and is not a big deal to carry up like the other reviewer states. It is extremely fast to put in use by hanging it over the side rail and a rung of the ladder. The construction of it is solid and does not have numerous failure points unlike some of the other products I've looked at.

So easy to use and so much safer to make ventilation cuts!

Concept great. This product however needs to be carried to the roof as another tool. Only designed for ventilation and nothing else. Have to find a place (when space is limited)to stow on your rig. Better, more versitile product out there.
