A 47-year-old man had to be lifted to safety after falling
around three metres on a ship.
The rope rescue team from Temple Fire Station worked alongside
crews from Avonmouth Fire Station and paramedics to stabilise the
man, who was then strapped to a scoop stretcher. Using the
turntable ladder the man was then lifted out of the shaft and taken
to hospital by ambulance.
His injuries are not thought to be
life-threatening.
