COLUMBIA, S.C. — Crews from Columbia-Richland Fire Department were called to an industrial facility at 2971 Shop Road Friday morning to rescue a stranded worker after a crane lost power.
The worker, doing some maintenance work on one of the silos, was 130 feet in the air in a bucket on a crane when the crane lost power around 9:15 a.m.
Firefighters used their training and equipment to reach the facility's top and set up a rigging system to lower the worker safely. The worker walked away from the incident with no injuries.
