Firefighters rescued a worker trapped in a water tower in Collin County on Monday after the person fell into the reservoir.
The man was stuck in the Copeville water tower near the Community Methodist Church in Copeville.
The person was evacuated by helicopter after being loaded onto a stretcher, according to NBC 5. The rescue was captured on video.
Local fire department representatives said the worker could not evacuate on his own and needed to be rescued from the water tower due to being either injured or sick.
The Wylie Fire Rescue high-angle rescue team had to be called in. Fire departments from Nevada, Richardson, Princeton, and Josephine were also called in to assist, reported KRLD News Radio.
Word of the rescued person’s injuries is not known at this time.
It is not clear at this time why the worker was trapped in the tower, as additional details have not been released.
