A Canadian military helicopter has rescued a man who was trapped on a construction crane by a massive fire.
The crane operator was stranded atop the crane Tuesday when a fire broke out in an apartment building under construction in Kingston, Ontario.
A Griffon helicopter from Canadian Forces Base Trenton plucked the worker from the crane and took him to a waiting ambulance. Police said he was believed to have only minor injuries.
Kingston police said Tuesday a home near the burning building had caught fire and there was concern for a nearby hotel as well.
Police said all the construction workers were believed to be accounted for. Dozens of firefighters were battling the blaze. - AP
