Charlotte Firefighters performed a high angle rescue for an injured worker at an Uptown Charlotte construction site Friday morning. The fire department was called to the scene around 10 a.m. after the construction worker hit their head on a steel beam at a South Graham Street construction site, nearby the Bank of America Stadium. The Charlotte Fire Department posted a video on social media showing a first-responder being lifted with a harness from the ground and holding a stretcher. The worker was injured on the 25th floor of the high-rise building and within 20 minutes a crew of 16 firefighters controlled the incident.
