First responders in Fairfax County worked to help two workers who were stuck on scaffolding at least 13 stories up on a high-rise building Monday morning.

The Fairfax County Fire and Rescue says crews responded to the 1800 block of Chain Bridge Road for a worker who fell from just above scaffolding 13 stories up. That worker was rescued onto a balcony and was evaluated by EMS. Both of the workers were rescued at approximately 10:45 a.m.
