\nLouisville 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Both workers were successfully rescued and evaluated on scene. No serious injuries were reported.
