FIRE crews winched a Bromley builder to safety after he fell from scaffolding and got trapped.
The 20-year-old toppled from the three-storey construction before getting wedged between the iron poles.
Fire and ambulance crews were called to a property in Hillbrow at midday on Wednesday, October 31.
Bromley station officer Eamonn Meehan said: "We worked with the ambulance crew to formulate a plan to ease the man to safety."
He added: "It came to a successful conclusion after 25 minutes of careful work."
The man was taken to Bromley Hospital but was later released.
