This evening, Firefighters with the Ventura County Fire Department and the Los Angeles City Fire Department were on the scene of a construction site where a man had fallen 25-feet down a hole in Bell Cyn. A rope rescue was established and firefighters immediately began the slow painstaking process of being lowered into the opening to rig up the man to safety.
