    Firefighters rescue man from scaffolding in Melville Street

    Emergency services including several fire engines, police vehicles, and an ambulance were called to Melville Street in Edinburgh’s West End around 11.25am this morning Tuesday, December 16 following a report that a man on scaffolding required assistance. 

    The road was taped off as the SFRS conducted a rope rescue team to safely extract the man. 

    He was then handed into the care of the Scottish Ambulance Service. 

    A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 11.25am on Tuesday, 16 December to support a person on scaffolding requiring assistance on Melville Street, Edinburgh. 

    “Operations Control mobilised a rope rescue team and two appliances to the scene. 

    “One male was handed into the care of the Scottish Ambulance Service.”
