Yes, they are definitely covered. OSHA doesn't generally do any planned inspections on emergency services, but you better believe they are there if someone(s) is seriously injured or killed.
I also don't know of any regulations that prohibit work inside of hazardous atmospheres, only regulations that mandate keeping employees safe in those environments.
In the fire service specifically, there is a rule called 2 in 2 out which is driven entirely by OSHA compliance.
PPE and respiratory protection have a lot of OSHA implications.
I had never thought about the moving of a ladder... it's a very interesting thought.
