LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln first responders have completed an hour-long rescue of a man who fell 30 feet down an embankment.
The man and a friend were walking along the embankment Sunday afternoon prior to the fall.
Lincoln Fire and Rescue got the man over some broken concrete and into a rescue basket. He was then hoisted up the sloped embankment with a pulley.
Authorities say the man suffered no visible injuries.
Fire Capt. Jim Bopp says the department performs about three or four similar rescues per year.
