Fire crews at the scene determined a man was stuck in an excavation hole 12 feet down and was trapped by their foot, Toronto Fire told CBC News. They said crews are setting up a trench rescue, which will secure the walls on either side of the person, before they can pull them out.

Police sources say a Con Edison worker was electrocuted in East Flatbush Wednesday. Officers found the 47-year-old man just after 10:30 a.m. near Kings Highway and Avenue D. The FDNY says the man went into cardiac arrest and EMS performed CPR before taking him to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center. He was initially listed in critical condition but is now expected to recover, according to police.
