Thanks to the teamwork between the Fort Worth and Burleson firefighters who worked together to rescue to rescue an employee who was trapped around 15 stories above the ground.
The employee who needed to be rescued was hanging for dear life by using a rope when the employee was rescued by the firefighters who used an apparatus to climb 150 feet above the ground on January 24 Friday afternoon.
The rescue took about four hours as the injured employee was taken by ambulance to a hospital for treatment.
The employee who was rescued is expected to make a full recovery.

That is true since being off of the ground at 150 feet above the ground is dangerous,

You are right since rescuing anyone from a large height off of the ground, the rescuer would have to be a real life Spider-Man to make these kind of rescues.

That's a dangerous place to work, and it looks as if the safety procedures in place should be re-examined carefully to ensure this type of mishap does not happen again.

Working in the cell phone industry is dangerous because of dealing with electrical wires..
