Louisville Fire crews performed a high-angle rescue at South 9th Street and West Broadway at the L&N Building after window-washing equipment became stuck and left workers needing help.
According to Louisville Fire PIO Donovan Sims, fire companies were dispatched following reports of two window washers stranded on the exterior of the building between the 7th and 8th floors.
Crews arrived on scene within two minutes to find one worker stranded in a suspended platform after a cable failure, while the second worker was secured by a fall protection safety line.
Rescue 2 and responding companies quickly assessed the situation and initiated rescue operations. Truck 1 deployed its aerial apparatus, allowing firefighters to safely access the workers and bring both individuals down via ladder without injury.
Both workers were successfully rescued and evaluated on scene. No serious injuries were reported.
