Emergency rescuers were called to the Churubusco Public Library at 1:00 p.m. Aug. 12 to help a man who had accidentally cut himself while using a power washer.

Fire rescue and EMS personnel decided that the safest way to get the man off the roof would be a ladder truck, with the closest one being in Columbia City. Not too long after they were requested a “man lift” from C&A showed up and safely removed the man and rescue workers from the roof. The Columbia City fire department was no longer needed.

The patient was transported to an area hospital in good condition with a laceration to his leg.
