Confined Space Rescue 10/12/2023 INC#0688

Confined Space Rescue; INC#0688; 11:23AM; 222 N Hill St; https://bit.ly/48NGJJR; #DowntownLA; A man fell down a shaft approximately 30 feet down (air vent?) and became trapped. LAFD Firefighters responded and, due to the depth and (narrow) width of the space, realized that ladders, or putting a rescuer (second person) in the shaft, were not the best options. Crews lowered a harness and rope down to the man and successfully (and quickly) raised him out of the shaft. Thankfully, he was awake and alert, with no obvious injuries. Paramedics performed an assessment and will transport him to a local hospital for further evaluation, due to the long distance of the fall. Nothing further.; FS 3; Batt 1; Central Bureau; Council District 14; BC1 BC2 CM20 CM22 E203 E3 E4 E9 EM1 FR201 HR3 RA11 RA17 RA809 SQ21 T3 T9 UR3 UR88; CH7; 12 13; Nicholas Prange
