At 1748 the department along with Providence Twp Ambulance 5-9 and SVEMS Medic's 7-7 were sent to the 100 blk of Mt Hope School Rd for a person stuck on a lift. Chief 512 was advised of a male stuck approx 50 ft in the air on a lift and that he has been there for about 3-4 hours . Truck 512 made the response first due to the height of the person. Units arrived and started to stabilize the lift and come up with a game plan on the rescue. The truck was backed down the driveway and set up. Crews used all the cribbing on the truck to make the truck level. Once the cribbing was in place crews moved the ladder around and extended about 95 ft to the male on the lift. The subject was check out by EMS and denied treatment. Truck 5-7 (Quarryville) was also dispatched to assist. Units cleared the scene in about 2 hrs
