Two 18-year-old men had to be rescued last night after climbing up a 150-foot high crane and getting stuck.
Firefighters were called just before 10.20pm on Thursday to a construction site in Hunter Street in the city following reports of two people 150ft up a crane.
An aerial platform appliance and the rope rescue unit, which is based in Lymm – were brought in to help rescue the teenagers.
An update on the Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service website says: “Firefighters used an internal raking ladder and the aerial ladder platform to bring the two to safety. They were then handed over to police.”
