A person was rescued with a 30 metre ladder after they became trapped in a hoist which had been raised well above buildings on Camden Street.
Dublin Fire Brigade came to the aid of the person who became trapped in the air after the machine became disabled. A video uploaded on Dublin Fire Brigade's twitter page showed that the top of the hoist was almost twice the height of Devitt's Pub which is next to it.
The DFB tweeted: "A person was rescued from a hoist on Camden Street yesterday after the cage unexpectedly tipped over and the machine became disabled. A thirty-metre ladder was dispatched and Firefighters safely removed the operator from the machine and lowered them to the ground."
