Longview firefighters rescued a longshoreman after falling about 40 feet onto the deck of a cargo ship.
It happened Sunday morning on board the TCP Gisaborne when the worker fell off a large stack of logs stored above the ship’s hold.
Rescuers said they had to make their way into a narrow gap between the structure of the ship and the log stacks. The man was then stabilized and pulled up to the deck before paramedics took him to an area hospital.
