11-2-21 High Angle Rope Rescue - 421 N Pennsylvania

3:35 PM - #IFD TacTeam 7 along with crews from Station 13 were dispatched to 421 N Pennsylvania St (Pennsylvania and Vermont) for an injured worker on the 11th floor of a building under construction. The 911 caller told IFD Dispatch that a piece of debris fell and hit the worker causing non life threatening injuries. The injuries however, prevented the 42 year old worker from evacuating the building on his own accord. On arrival and with assistance from the construction crew - firefighters made their way to the 11th floor, made patient contact, assessed injuries and provided ALS care. The decision was made to lower the patient over the side of the building via a high angle rope rescue and in cooperation with the construction company an onsite crane was used to do so. In all the incident was mitigated in less than an hour and the patient was transported to Methodist Hospital via IEMS Medic 5. #teamwork
