🇺🇸 Florida firefighters used a crane to rescue a 600-pound man from his second-floor apartment. He was having a medical emergency but couldn't fit through the stairs or doorways, so crews cut part of the apartment wall and balcony railings, then secured him onto a padded pallet. Around a dozen people helped lower him about 20 feet to an ambulance waiting below. Credit to the crews for getting him down safely. Writer: Daniyal
