Fire and rescue teams from the Kiryat branch, along with the special rescue unit (YELAM) Kiryat and a crane from Haifa, conducted a complex rescue operation on Yitzhak Rabin Street in Kiryat Ata on Monday. The operation involved a roughly 50-year-old construction worker who fell on his back while working on the seventh floor, sustaining a severe back injury and losing the ability to move. After an initial assessment, a decision was made to perform a high-altitude rescue. The incident commander directed that an MDA paramedic be raised in a special crane basket directly to the seventh floor to provide life-saving initial medical treatment. Firefighters then carefully secured the injured worker to a specialized, secured stretcher and safely lowered him to the ground using the crane. The worker was conscious and in stable condition, with no bleeding, when transferred for further medical treatment and evacuation.
