A construction worker fell down a 20-foot manhole and was rescued by a fire department squad. The worker had been on a ladder when he fell into the manhole, which was part of an access tunnel less than 4 feet wide. Despite the challenging conditions, the squad was able to ventilate the space and fit the worker with a harness.

The rescue team then used a tripod rope system to pull the worker to the surface. The worker was conscious at the time of the rescue.

Further details about the incident, including the worker's condition, are not available, but more information may be found through Atlanta News First as the story develops.
