A lift operator was rescued after hours of being stuck on the machine after accidentally hitting a nearby power line in the 1200 block of Queen Anne Ave. N in Seattle around 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Seattle Fire Department (SFD).

Fire authorities said the operator struck the power line, causing a fire on and around the lift. Flames then spread to a natural gas line on the sidewalk below the lift along West Highland Dr., SFD said.

Fire crews sprayed water and a white foam throughout the block to prevent the natural gas fire from spreading further.
