Man saved from trench collapse

PRESS RELEASE – On Friday, March 29th, 2024, Paulding County 911 received reports of a construction worker burried in a collapse.

Crews from Paulding and Cobb County Fire & Emergency Services worked together for over 3 hours to safely rescue the man, who was burried up to his neck in a 20 foot deep trench.

He remained conscious & alert throughout the ordeal. Once extricated, he received medical treatment on the scene and was flown to Grady Hospital where he is in guarded condition.

Many thanks to our friends at Cobb Fire & Emergency Services, Paulding County Sheriff’s Office, the City of Dallas Public Works, Metro EMS, Airlife, and Paulding County E-9-1-1 Communications Center.

This was another true team effort that saved a man’s life.
