A person is trapped in a burning building 60feet off the ground. A rescuer has a 70 foot ladder, but for safety purposes the ladder Connor be elevated more then 60°. Will the ladder reach the trapped person?

Yes because, if the building is 60 ft from the ground and the ladder is 70 ft,shouldn’t it escalate an extra 10 ft because this is technically an emergency and it can be considered to be used as a reason for safety purposes, if I’m not mistaken
