“Upon arrival at the location, five elite Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) personnel and a paramedic worked closely with LEMA to conduct the search and rescue operation,” SCDF said in a Facebook post on Friday.
“After ensuring the stability of the semi-collapsed building, LEMA and SCDF accessed the second floor through the back of the building where the faint calls were heard.
“SCDF used a fibre-optic scope and confirmed that a man was trapped behind a large concrete slab. LEMA then used breaking equipment to create an opening. The man was rescued within half an hour.”
The rescue team was in constant contact with the trapped man throughout the operation, and he was attended to by locals after he was brought down from the building, SCDF added.
