Must see video: Determined Detroit firefighter makes roof despite fall from ladder & almost losing it on the second attempt.

Nothing like determination. A Detroit firefighter trying to make the roof with a ground ladder on a front porch rides it down after the ladder pops out from under him. He picks himself up and tries again. The ladder starts to slip a second time, but he recovers and then has some difficulty securing footing on the steep pitch of the roof. But he makes it.

WXYZ-TV says this happened at Lantz and Russell Streets on Detroit's east side.
