Disclosed is a safety ladder for protecting a lineman or firefighter from a flash fire. The ladder has the appearance of a conventional ladder but includes interlocking plates positioned in between the rungs along the rails. Attached to the plates are fluid conduits that allow for the dispensing of a hydrated super absorbent polymer having superior fire suppression to be sprayed over an individual using the ladder should a fire erupt. The mounting plates have spray nozzles attached to the conduit located along the rails of the ladder so as to not infer with normal use of the ladder. A pressurized container of hydrated super absorbent polymer is coupled to the ladder. The hydrated super absorbent polymer is discharged through a solenoid valve which can be operated by the individual using the ladder with a button attached to the ladder or activated by a heat sensor attached to the ladder.
A fluid dispensing kit for use with a ladder assembly formed from a pair of rails constructed from a non-conductive material having a inner and an outer surface and each rail having a channel portion spaced apart and extending longitudinally along said inner surface to receive a plurality of transverse rungs extending between said inner surfaces of opposing rail channels, said fluid dispensing kit comprising;
