PHOTOS: One person had to be rescued after getting stuck atop a section of the border wall in Otay Mesa, San Diego County fire officials said.
Just after 5:40 a.m., firefighters were dispatched to assist the U.S. Border Patrol in helping the stranded individual, according to a Facebook post from Cal Fire/San Diego County Fire.
When crews arrived, they found someone stuck at the top of the international border fence. Firefighters used a 35-foot ladder to get the person down.
Photos posted to the agency’s social media accounts appear to show a man climbing down the ladder after being helped by a firefighter. It was unclear what happened to him after he got down.
No injuries were reported. This was the second such rescue in two months.
Last month, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department responded when three people became stranded after unsuccessfully trying to scale the 30-foot, steel bollard wall, according to a Border Patrol news release.
