    This got me wondering just how high fire apparatus can reach on a high-rise building. The apparatus I found claiming to be the tallest only reaches 137 vertical feet. That's a lot until you consider the heights of many buildings.

    These missiles seem like a really good idea.

    I'm wondering now about accuracy at the 80th floor...Laser guided maybe?...What MOA is expected and is wind drift compensated for before launch?......Ben

    The video indicates it is all computer controlled.
