The answer is a ladder pipe. This term specifically refers to a master stream device that is positioned at the end of an aerial ladder, allowing firefighters to deliver large volumes of water from an elevated position directly onto a fire. The design of a ladder pipe enables effective water application by using the height of the aerial ladder to reach difficult or elevated fire situations, thereby enhancing the reach and effectiveness of firefighting efforts.

In this context, a turret typically refers to a fixed or portable nozzle device that can discharge water in various directions but is not specifically mounted at the tip of an aerial ladder. A rung gun diverges from this context as it is another term used for a different type of delivery system, often a handheld nozzle system. A snorkel is a type of aerial device that allows firefighters to reach elevated areas but is not specifically the same as an elevated master stream device mounted at the tip of a ladder. Thus, the terminology surrounding the ladder pipe distinctly identifies it as the apparatus in question.
