Window Washer Rescue L.A.

Window washers rescued in 10100 Santa Monica Tower because of a scaffold malfunction.

Fire Crews Rescue 2 Workers Trapped On Scaffolding Outside Century City High-Rise: (CENTURY CITY) —Two window washers were rescued Thursday after being stuck on scaffolding on floor 26 of a 27-story high-rise in Century City. The incident happened around 4:50 p.m. at 10100 Santa Monica Tower located on W. Santa Monica Boulevard. “We had to inspect some windows, came down safety. We went back up and the cable got jammed. We couldn’t go up, we couldn’t go down. We didn’t want to play with it, so we called 911,” said worker Javier Barajas. Members of the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Urban Search and Rescue unit hoisted the two men to the roof of the building. No one was injured.

CA/Window Washer Firefighter reacts: Two window washers get rescued by Los Angeles Firefighters after getting stuck 26 floors up, outside a Century City high-rise. Problems with cables on their scaffolding left the pair stranded Thursday near the top.

LASS says: "Were here to do a job. Fortunately today, we did it well."

LASS says: "There were two patients trapped on the scaffolding and I believe mechanically it wasn't able to work anymore and they required rescuing."

LASS says: "No, I think they had their phones with them so they were chatting with some of their friends. They were in good spirits because there were two of them and they were able to keep each other company."

Both men were not injured or in serious danger, but firefighters had to put them each in a rescue harness to hoist them to the roof after 2 hours of being stranded.
