Nice shots and looks like a great stop by MKFD! Not much room about Ossining's ladder in the last pic. Looks like a few inches of clearance at the most.

I'm noticing a "self rescue" home ladder from the 3rd story of the home. Did the occupants use this to escape?

Looks like the self rescue ladder was not deployed in the earlier photos. This may have been a FF working in the attic space creating his own secondary egress with whats on hand, or, with what looks like a huge grin on his face, making some kind of joke <insert joke here>.

Agreed, if you look at the sequence of photos you see it is not there during the initial attack, its only now during the overhaul that it is being seen.

In the early photos the rescue ladder is not out. http://jukebox.lohud.com/photos/refers/index.php?gallery=Mount%20Kisco%20fire%201-29-11

The rescue ladder was deployed by the crew doing overhaul in the attic....... Got to make sure you have a second way out LOL

Actually it is the new Bailout system in Mount Kisco. No sense throwing your self out the window when you can safely climb down the ladder. LOL
