YONKERS, N.Y. — A firefighter rappelled down the side of a high-rise building Friday to rescue two men who were dangling from safety ropes after their scaffolding collapsed.
The firefighter, Mike Girous, said afterward, “It was pretty fun.”
The men, possibly painters, were trapped 12 stories above a street for more than an hour, secured by their safety belts, starting about 5 p.m.
