If there is one deal about being a firefighter, it is that they have incredible courage to rappel down from the top of a building to rescue someone who trapped 15 stories above the ground while he was washing windows in a 23 story condominium in North Palm Beach Florida. The amazing part of this story that the window washer got in trouble when the rope that he used to climb up and down while sitting on a basket seat harness came loose. The window washer was trapped for about one hour before a special operations team of firefighters from Palm Beach County used ropes that they hurled down from the top of the condo to where the window washer was. The special operations firefighters used a rope to tie up the window washer and take him down to the ground floor safe and sound. The firefighters admit that this was the first rescue of a window washer in three decades. The condition of the window washer whose name was not released due to privacy issues is that the is in good condition. As for me, you could pay me a pretty penny to ask me to wash windows at a condo. I will gladly turn it down.
