Agencies combine during scaffold rescue Coos Bay World, OR
Two men working on a chimney at about 10:40 a.m. Monday morning had to be rescued after a pipe they were removing shifted balance and came in contact with live power lines. One of the men sat atop a chimney, while an injured man curled up in a ball on a scaffold to keep away from electrically charged pieces of metal.
