MONTREAL – Montreal firefighters had to rescue three construction workers Tuesday morning after the scaffolding they were working on started to shift and could possibly collapse.
A call came in at 9:42 a.m. for work being done at 1153 Mount Royal E. near de la Roche St. where a four-storey scaffolding was threatening to fall down.
The scaffolding was bolted to the building made of older brick.
The three workers were trapped on the top floor with all their equipment when the platform first shifted.
The fire department sent a ladder truck and brought the workers down, unharmed. Police and fire officers remain on the scene, which is closed to traffic while they make sure the scaffolding won’t fall onto any passing pedestrians or cars.
