In what wind conditions should Ladder/Towers not be deployed?

Ladder/Towers should not be deployed in wind conditions of 35 MPH due to safety and operational effectiveness. At this wind speed, the risk of instability and difficulty in maintaining control significantly increases, potentially jeopardizing the safety of personnel operating the ladder/tower as well as the safety of the surrounding area. High winds can affect the tower's ability to remain upright and stable, leading to dangerous situations.

In general, operational guidelines dictate that the deployment of aerial apparatuses should be reevaluated at lower wind speeds, but 35 MPH is a recognized threshold where the risks outweigh the benefits. The decision to restrict deployment in these conditions is made to ensure the safety of firefighters and civilians, as well as to maintain the effectiveness of the firefighting operations.
