At 10:30 Portland Dispatch received a call for an injured worker at the 40 foot level of a pressure washing structure. His working bucket had broken loose and badly injured his arm, and his safety harness saved him from falling, too. The Heavy Rescue team was dispatched. Members climbed the structure and packaged him in a Stokes basket that was lowered using a crane that was on the site.
