AUSTIN, Texas — A construction worker was rescued from a crane scaffold in Downtown Austin on Sunday afternoon after experiencing heat-related issues.
Austin-Travis County EMS said medics and Austin Fire Department crews responded to 80 Red River St. around 3:45 p.m. after reports of a worker experiencing a heat-related illness.
AFD said crews removed the worker from a crane scaffold about six stories high at a construction site in the Rainey Street District.
Medics used a rope system to move the worker off the crane. The worker was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center with non-life-threatening complaints.
