They don't even start till 3 seconds after the video starts. So 14 seconds to pull a ladder off the truck run 25-30 yards and then climb 3 stories. I've watched this about 10 times now, it's just awesome.

There's a guy at my gym who trains in full firefighting gear. Man, that looks tough!

I'll bet those guys won all sorts of bar bets! "I can do that in 15 seconds." "Yeah, right."

Looks like it was sped up, but that's still impressive. The way they pull the ladder from the truck, and the fact that the climber starts before the ladder is even against the wall... Skill!
