BFRS Confined Space Rescue

Birmingham Fire & Rescue

Birmingham Fire & Rescue responded to Jaybird Road in Brighton when a Jefferson County sewer worker fell into a hole. The two man crew had been replacing a dehumidifier, and were exiting the hole, when one of them slipped and fell back in. Crews from Birmingham Fire, including 1's Heavy Rescue, worked for about an hour to extricate the patient.

Great work!

A special thank you to Captain Wilks for sharing these great pictures!
