FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 The Fort Worth Fire Department rescued a man experiencing a medical emergency May 6 inside the booth of a crane over 200 feet in the air at the JPS construction site in the 1300 block of South Main Street.<\/p>\n

The man was given medical assistance by firefighters, but was unable to come down the ladder of the crane due to his condition, the Fire Department said in Facebook post<\/a>. Crews from the Tactical Rescue Team, a group that specializes in high-angle rescues on bridges and buildings, lowered him on top of the parking garage that is under construction.<\/p>\n
