Rail Ladder Fire 22'x8'x8' Recommissioned fire ladders and old train rails. Allen, TX 2012

Making of the Fire Ball

Looking up before the addition of the ladders: The Lone Star is in the heart of the fire.

Allen was the first town to have a train robbery- so use train rails. Since this is Fire Station, use decommissioned aluminum fire ladders. Of course the beauty is when it is lit up at night, the yellow and orange lights bouncing off the silver twisted ladders symbolizing the danger firemen encounter when battling the blaze.
