Rescue workers helped pull a man who had fallen into a basement at a construction site in East Hampton on Tuesday evening.

The East Hampton Fire Department's Heavy Rescue Squad, also known as the "White Knights," were called to assist at 4:58 p.m.

The East Hampton Village Volunteer Ambulance were treating the man at 32 Stratton Square after he fell from the first floor into the basement.
