Barge Rescue

Tampa, Fla. (970 WFLA) - Trapped  below the deck of a moored  barge, Tampa Fire Rescue  pulls a Port of Tampa worker to safety!   

Firefighters used ropes and rigging equipment to lower paramedics fifty feet down into the cargo area to reach and treat the  18 year old man.  

Once rescue teams had him strapped  in a basket, crews pulled the unidentified man to safety.  

He was taken to Tampa General for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
