Bystanders reported the fall to St. Louis County 911 Dispatch. 6 Engine, 4 Quint, and 1 Engine were able to locate, access, package, and extricate the patient to the parking area, where Mayo Ambulance waited and was able to begin treatment of the patient, who suffered some undisclosed injuries but was conscious and talking.
The patient was transferred by Mayo Ambulance to a local hospital.
