Fire and rescue crews from the Kiryot station, together with the Special Rescue Unit (Yalam) and a crane from Haifa, carried out a complex high-altitude rescue Monday on Yitzchak Rabin Street in Kiryat Ata.
The 102 emergency center received a report of a construction worker in his 50s who had fallen during work on the seventh floor and landed on his back, suffering a severe back injury and unable to move.
When crews arrived and completed a rapid assessment, they decided to carry out a rescue at height. The incident commander ordered a Magen David Adom paramedic lifted in the crane's specialized basket directly to the seventh floor, where he provided life-saving initial medical treatment to the injured man.
