Ladder 118's 1990 Seagrave (EX-Ladder 110, EX-Ladder 210, EX-Ladder 258, EX-Ladder 25) serving as Ladder 2.
Mary Branson's compelling Ladders of Light installation is inspired by ideas of social mobility, equality and generosity. Mary's work both mirrors the grandeur and aspirations inherent in the Cathedral's Gothic architecture, and speaks of the fragility of human society.

This team is ready. They will run up and put the ladder up. Then three of them will climb up the ladder and back down. Each of them carries one thing either the hose, a pole with a hook on the end or an axe. Each climber must put his foot on every rung.
Ladder 7 is a 1992 Seagrave. From the front, it looks strikingly different from Ladder 29. It also has a lower-profile halogen lightbar.

Ladder Contraction is a thought experiment in special relativity. It involves a ladder traveling horizontally and undergoing a length contraction, the result of which being that it can fit into a much smaller garage. On the other hand, from the point of view of an observer moving with the ladder, it is the garage that is moving and the garage will be contracted to an even smaller size, therefore being unable to contain the ladder at all. This apparent paradox results from the assumption of absolute simultaneity. In relativity, simultaneity is relative to each observer and thus the ladder can fit into the garage in both instances.
Some say one should strive for more than he has. Is it worth it?
I guess there should be some balance to it, just like on the ladder. If you fial to keep the balance, you will most probably fall down.
As one wise man once said:
"We sacrifice our health to make money. Then we sacrifice our money to recapture health. And then we are so anxious about the future that we don't enjoy the present. The result being that we do not live in the present or the future. We live as if we are never going to die and then die never really lived..."
