PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland firefighters have managed to free a 40-year-old man who had been trapped between a stack of plate steel and a rolling crane at Oregon Steel Mills.
Fire Lt. Allen Oswalt says a technical rescue team and more than 25 firefighters responded Thursday evening. Firefighters worked with mill personnel to move several tons of steel while fire medics provided life support to the trapped man.
The unidentified man was flown to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in critical condition.
