Interesting rescue from a house fire Friday morning in Gouverneur, New York (St. Lawrence County). Thanks to PJ Norwood and Issac McDonald for sending this to STATter911.com.
A DOT worker at the adjacent construction site noticed a person trapped on the second floor of the William Street building, and reacted instinctively.
“We tried to get a ladder from the bridge crew to bring it over, it’s on the other side of the bridge, and it was just too far, so I actually instructed one of the operators to get the excavator and drive it up next to the house, so the gentleman could actually jump into the bucket of the excavator,” says Rusty Tuttle, a DOT civil engineer.
