Paramedics transported the worker to hospital
Emergency crews were dispatched Tuesday morning to Providence Care Centre, a supported living facility in the 100 block of Providence Boulevard S.E. in Calgary, after a worker was injured while on the building's roof.
Crews arrived just after 10:30 a.m., CTV News reported. A Calgary EMS spokesperson said the worker had stumbled on the roof and suffered a soft tissue injury described as very minor.
The injury, though minor, left the worker unable to climb down from the roof on his own, according to the report.
Rescue response
Calgary Fire Department crews responded to assist with the rescue. Firefighters used a tower ladder truck, equipped with an extendable aerial platform, to reach the stranded worker.
The worker was lowered safely from the roof to ground level using the apparatus, per the CTV News account.
No details on the roof's height, the nature of the work being performed, or the worker's employer were included in the available reporting.
Outcome
Following the rescue, paramedics transported the worker to hospital, CTV News reported.
His condition was described as stable and non-life-threatening.
No further updates on the worker's condition or recovery have been made public as of this writing.
