WEST YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS –  Fire officials tell HN that a worker suffered a medical emergency and lost consciousness high above the ground inside a Yarmouth water tower this afternoon… and that he eventually regained consciousness and was able to return safely to the ground mostly on his own. As you will see and hear in the following HN Video, at around 3:30 p.m., Yarmouth firefighters responded to a water tower in the vicinity of the Sandy Pond Recreation Area at 482 Buck Island Road for a worker stuck inside his climbing harness while suspended high inside a water tower enclosure. A Cape Cod Tech Rescue team was activated, and members quickly began arriving on scene at a staging area inside of the recreation area. It turns out they were not needed as the worker regained consciousness and was able to make it back down to the ground safely, under the watchful assistance of coworkers and at least one tech rescue climber.  The worker was then transported to Cape Cod Hospital inside of a Yarmouth FD ambulance. Cellphone company technicians had been inside the tower working on cellphone tower equipment, a source tells HN.  No further details available at the time of this report… The following HN Video contains footage from the scene, along with Fire Department radio transmissions… [HN VIDEO – PRESS PLAY] P.S. – Today’s Hytown Vignette is brought to you by Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66…  [CLICK IT/CRANK IT!
