ABSTRACT:
An inflatable bag which can be attached to an ordinary ladder quickly and easily. Also, the bag can be used to secure multiple ladders together, thereby extending the distance a rescue team can go in order to rescue a victim. Also, since most fire department rescue teams already have ladders attached to their vehicles, the inflatable bags will not take up much of their valuable storage space. The bags can be inflated by a valve similar to a vehicle, or it can have a self inflating mechanism similar to an inflatable life boat. This means a substantial savings in time to assemble the equipment.
