hook and ladder
Firefighting aerial vehicle
A hook and ladder is a fire truck equipped with extension ladders and hooks for pulling down walls and ceilings.
The term often appears in hook and ladder company, a firefighting unit specializing in rescue and ventilation rather than pumping water.
In American football, a hook and ladder is a trick play where a receiver catches a short pass, then laterals to a teammate running behind him.
