The ladder is for chimney fires, quite common with people who burn wood in Canada and rural US.

The ladder or the fires?
I clean and sweep my chimneys every fall to avoid the fire part of things.
My neighbor's made like a Saturn V several years ago and made me a believer.
Darned if the ladder isn't still up.

I've got an old Fisher 'Mama Bear' wood stove in my workshop/apartment. What should I be doing for off-season creosote maintenance? And what situation do I need the ladder up at all times for--what would I do if I got up there and there's a fire??

What you do is cap it, choke off the draft. With draft it will melt the pipe and set the roof/attic on fire.

It'll burn down soon enough with those candle chandeliers.

Just the thought of taking the dock in and out every year would be enough to make me say, "sorry, we're not having a dock." I used to think a year was a long time in between odious tasks; now, not so much.
