A man has fainted while working on a construction site in Playa Honda, as reported by the Lanzarote Emergency Consortium.

The events occurred at 10.23 hours in San Borondón street in the coastal town of the municipality of San Bartolomé. After being alerted by the CECOES, agents of the Local Police, firefighters and an ambulance of the Canary Emergency Service moved to the scene.

Apparently, the man was carrying out his working day on a roof when he lost consciousness and fell to the ground, "rigid" and with difficulty breathing.

The firefighters have collaborated with the sanitary personnel lowering him from the roof with the help of the aerial ladder. Once in the street he has been attended by the paramedics and later he has been transferred by ambulance to Molina Oorsa.
