Abstract There are two categories of high rise buildings that will be discussed in this chapter. There are your regular high rise buildings, and then there are your super high rise buildings. From a fire protection standpoint, the regular high rise buildings are the ones where the fire department is not going to be able to fight the fire from the ground. These buildings are too tall to use fire department ground ladders and even too tall to use the ladders built into the ladder trucks. Rescue and firefighting operations need to be conducted within the building. For most fire departments, this starts to be an issue around seven or eight story buildings.
