The vehicles were equipped with certain aluminum, black, ladders manufactured by Christian son Industries. The ladders have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge.
If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
