    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.

    When my wife and I are down in Las Vegas at our condo, I worry sometimes that something could go bad in our high-rise condo. We're only on the 14th floor, but it's high enough that jumping to safety is not an option. I just chalk it up to the fact I'm getting old, and simply can't attempt things I used to do.

    One word... BASE Rigs.

    I would recommend a hand held exit at that altitude....

    That is really cool technology.
