Chattanooga firefighters rescued an injured worker from the roof of an
apartment building Thursday morning. At 8:58 AM on 5/22/25, Red Shift
companies responded to Signal Mountain Senior Living at 1005 Mountain Creek
Road. The patient had been working on the HVAC system on the roof of the
facility when he lost traction and fell into a difficult position for
extrication. CFD personnel stabilized the patient in a Stokes Basket and
set up a high angle rescue. Crews used a rope system to hoist and belay the
patient. Engine 17’s aerial was used to lift the Stokes Basket and move the
patient from the roof to the ground where Hamilton County EMS was waiting
to transport him to the hospital. Engine 17, Squad 1, Squad 20, Engine 1,
Battalion 3 and Special Operations responded.
