An emergency vehicle includes an extendable ladder and a compartment for storing a kit containing a source of light and a cable. When the vehicle arrives at the scene of an emergency, the ladder is partially extended, and the kit is removed from the compartment. The source of light is then suspended from the ladder, near the distal end of the ladder, and the cable is connected between the source of light and a source of power. The ladder is then extended and elevated. The method provides light in hard-to-reach places, regardless of whether the accident scene already is lighted. The kit preferably includes cable support hangers which aid in suspending the cable along the length of the ladder. When the emergency work is complete, the components of the kit may be removed and stored in the vehicle. In another embodiment, the kit includes a unitary frame which holds a generator and a plurality of lamps. The kit does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle, and substantially extends its capability.
