The incident happened around 2:47 p.m. on April 3 on Pegasus Parkway.
Lagrange firefighters responded and found the worker 50 feet above ground with injuries sustained while on the roof, according to officials.
Due to the height and complexity of the rescue, more resources were called in, including Tower 31, an 85-foot aerial platform.
Fire crews, along with Troup County AMR and the site’s on-site response team, stabilized the worker on the roof and moved them to the edge, where they were lowered to the ground.
