No, I think the emergency services were having a hard time seeing the person as well, so did not want to blind them with flashes...the person was up at the same level as the large flood lights so pretty far up....

 

 

The Victoria Fire Department says they helped someone get down off a construction crane after they climbed it Sunday night.

They were called out around 10:20pm. Police said three people initially climbed the crane at a construction site at Cook and Pandora. Two of them were able to climb down themselves but the third got stuck about halfway up the crane. The fire department says it was about 70 feet high.

The fire department's used their Technical High Angle Rope Rescue team to get the man safely down.

What a huge waste of taxpayer resources just to get some drunk off a crane. If she go up there on her own she should have been able to get down without assistance. Sheesh.  :whyme:

Fine them. $500 might deter fools.

I suspect you'd be hard pressed to get $500 from these folks.

Gerrit Vink, president of Farmer Construction, said he talked to his site supervisor on Monday and confirmed the site was secured and locked. He said people “forcefully” broke in.

 

The construction area is up the street from the Our Place community centre, on Pandora near Quadra Street.

 

Vink said drug use is no more a nuisance for the construction industry than for any other business or nearby residents.

 

“[The] rampant drug-use issue is a problem for all of us,” said Vink.

 

Vink said he is thankful first responders were able to rescue the woman quickly and safely.

 

He dismissed the idea that the new problem of crane-climbing in the city is an activity of thrill-seekers, saying: “No, this is drug users.”

Has that been confirmed, that they were homeless people?

I'm looking forward to the rest of the "V" being cast in concrete.  :D  Victoria could use more architectural elements like this in its buildings.

The concrete has had an extra week of curing time.

Were those dark, light, light, light, dark images lifted from a faulty Pandora cam?
