The circular interior core of the tower, upward through which the ladder extended, was rather dark.

When safely propped, the ladder should extend at least a foot above the edge of the roof.

The ladder, behind the main administration building, extends 132 feet horizontally to the base of the tree.

As soon as it had stopped, the door had opened and the ladder had extended.

As the ladder extended, it began to rock slightly.

A ladder extended itself, dropping down to touch the ground.

The door opened automatically and the ladder extended.

From the upper floor a wooden ladder extended upward through the center of the tower above.

The ladder, however, extended only to the second floor, about six feet below where Ms. Ore and the three children were trapped.

The department's four aerial ladders extend only 85 feet, though 125-foot ladder trucks are considered the minimum for fighting high-rise fires.
