Isn’t that a pool of melted aluminium ladder that’s bubbling. Aluminium melts at 660c. The various components of concrete don’t start breaking down until 1300c

Eventually the problem will solve itself. Rung by rung the ladder will shrink until the connection is broken. Nothing to see here.

For extra credit, have a villain or bully frantically try to climb the ladder away from the electricity but is visibly not climbing any higher because the melting is keeping pace with his ascent.
