One worker had to be rescued in downtown Edmonton Friday when violent winds knocked a huge scaffold into the east side of the Stantec Tower.
No one was injured, though some windows were damaged.
Edmonton Fire Rescue Services said crews were called at 12:52 p.m. and arrived on the scene within five minutes.
Two workers were on the scaffold at the time, a spokesperson said.
One of them was rescued by a ladder truck and was assessed and released by an emergency medical crew.
The second person remained on the scaffold to help steer it down.
A fire ladder truck and a technical rescue team used ropes and pulleys to help guide the scaffold to the ground.
Police blocked off the street between Stantec Tower and Edmonton Tower.
