Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said they responded after receiving reports of a fall. It appeared the person had fallen from a ladder onto the second floor of the structure and wasn't able to get down, officials said.

Aerial footage from Chopper 6 showed the worker being lowered to the ground and placed into an ambulance, before he was airlifted to a local hospital as a trauma alert.
