Re: Height of wood?

Based on what I figrured once before, the wood is about 6' high on top of the tank plus the height of the tank from the deck being about 3-3 1/2'. That's way higher than a little short fellow like me can reach. Makes me wonder if they had a really hefty home built step stool in the cab.
We had some really big wood split in half for the 3 one Sunday earlier in the summer. I am very strong in the arms and shoulders and it was a struggle even for me to get down. I only fired the first run and then another one of our fireman took over as prearranged. The other fireman is a she, and is pretty short, but very determined and capable. After helping load another pile of this big wood up to the level of the cab roof, I suggested that I pass her one of the really big halves to lay on the floor as a stool. It apparently worked quite well for her.
