Firefighters Rescue Trapped Worker at South Boston Construction Site: Boston Fire

Boston, MA - The Boston Fire Department responded to a South Boston construction site Thursday to rescue a trapped worker there.

According to Boston Fire's Twitter, firefighters arrived on scene at 715 East 2nd St., where a worker was pinned under what was described as a "concrete mixing silo type structure." The structure had tipped over as its footing gave way, Boston Fire said. Seaport Realty Group lists the address as apartments for rent.

Workers there began extracting the trapped man using a backhoe, and firefighters completed the process, BFD said. 

Emergency responders treated the man and transported him for non-life threatening injuries, the fire department said. Inspectors from the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration have been requested.
