A Calgary Fire Department spokesperson told Global News crews received calls for a person who had fallen into a large hole at around 1:20 p.m. Fire and technical crews were dispatched and a ladder truck is being used at the scene.
The CFD spokesperson added the person is stabilized and is currently being rescued.
“The worker was down in a hole that was difficult to access,” said CFD Battalion Chief Keith Stahl.
“We had to use ground ladders to stabilize the scene and then stabilize the patient. We were able to get that patient stabilized and then bring in our technical rescue team to retrieve this person from the hole using one of our baskets and got them to advanced health care.”
