A fire truck pulls up to a burning building with a person trapped at the 4th floor window which is 45 ft off the ground. The truck is parked 9 ft away from the building to give the firefighters and police room to work on the ground. The base of the ladder is 5 ft off the ground already because it is sitting up on the truck. If it takes 2 seconds to extend the ladder one foot, how long will it take the firefighters to extend the ladder to the window?
