At 7pm Wednesday night, Mobile Fire-Rescue responded to a call from the Alabama State Docks for a report of a man having fallen approximately 40 feet into the hold of a ship out of Norway. Mobile Fire-Rescue's Steve Huffman stated that the man was helping to load 2-ton rolls of paper. Firefighters used a crane to lift him out and sit him down on the dock. More details will be made available on-air and online as we receive them.
