Tower 5 was called by Charlestown Rescue to remove an injured man form the second story of a residential structure. Chief Frink positioned the tower so the basket was at the second floor deck level, then crews using a stokes basket loaded the man on to the tower platform. The tower was able to deliver the man directly to the ground and the awaiting ambulance.
