Updated at 10:20 a.m. — An apparent scaffolding collapse at a Bethesda office building briefly left three workers suspended about 125 feet above the ground on Wednesday morning.
MCFRS units were called to the building at 6903 Rockledge Drive just after 10 a.m. By 10:10 a.m., first responders reported the workers had been able to level the piece of scaffolding and self-rescue.
MCFRS spokesperson Pete Piringer said the workers were dangling at about the level of the 13th floor. Emergency scanner reports said the workers were hanging by ropes.
First responders were later able to confirm the workers are safe.
