Two employees saved from pit at Centennial building location.

Two workers found themselves in a precarious situation on Tuesday morning at a construction site in Centennial, but thanks to the quick and efficient response from South Metro Fire Rescue, they were safely rescued. According to reports, the workers were trapped in a trench along the Cherry Creek Trail, located near Parker Road and Broncos Parkway. The fire department was alerted at 7:27 a.m. and promptly arrived on the scene.

Upon arrival, paramedics assessed the situation and determined that one of the workers had sustained minor injuries. They were immediately taken to the hospital for treatment. The condition of the other trapped worker was not disclosed at this time. It is still unclear how the workers became trapped in the trench, but thanks to the efforts of the rescue team, both individuals were safely extracted by 8:45 a.m.

The rescue crew shared that the trench was 10 feet wide, five feet deep, and 75 feet long. A photo released by the fire department showed heavy machinery surrounding and inside the trench, as well as ladders that were used by the rescue team to access the trapped workers. A follow-up video posted by South Metro showed the rescue team carefully pulling one of the workers out while secured to a plastic backboard.

As the incident unfolded, many news outlets reported on the situation, highlighting the quick response from South Metro Fire Rescue and the successful rescue of the workers. The fire department also shared important information about the conditions at the construction site, including the treacherous weather conditions that have been affecting the area. With up to three feet of snow forecasted for the mountains, it's crucial for workers to remain vigilant and for everyone to stay safe while traveling on the roads.
