Worker rescued from Sarasota Co. building after scaffolding collapse

A worker was successfully rescued after a scaffolding collapsed 10 stories up on a Sarasota County building under construction this morning.

It happened at the building along Palm Avenue. The worker was conscious and in a harness, so firefighters say he was in no immediate danger.

After exploring options, a firefighter was lowered down to the scaffolding from a floor above, and put a harness on the worker before lowering him down to the ground.

The worker appears to be OK.
