According to CBS Austin, the Austin Fire Department arrived at 9835 North Lake Creek Parkway at around 11:40 a.m., to tackle the fire. The incident unveiled a worker stuck about three stories high in a scissor lift, dangerously close to the fiery outbreak.
After being grounded via the second lift, the worker "continues to express no complaints & doesn't meet the criteria for a patient." An apt conclusion to a potential disaster, where courage, coupled with, controlled execution ensured all ended well, as reported by the ATCEMS.
