E for Emergency

[SC Mouse Fan]

As those who follow the scavenger hunt thread may know, I was able to shoot picture of a rescue this weekend in my town. The Fire Department had to rescue a man that was working on a water tank. He had fallen in the empty tank and landed on his feet which broken his ankles and I don't know what else. Here are a few of the pictures of the rescue.

I'm pretty sure he didn't feel the ankles too much on the ride down! Thanks for sharing! Great pictures!

I think they would have had to sedate me for that ride down. :scared1:

These are a nice reminder of what great work our emergency personnel do every day. Here's a hearty Thank You to them! :flower3:

Great shots.
