[A crane operator has rescued a worker
from a roof close to a burning building.
Firefighters were called to the Station Hill
development in Reading, which has since
been cordoned off, at 11:40 GMT.
Video footage from social media shows a
person being lifted by a crane from the
roof of a building, prompting applause from
a crowd below.
Crane operator Glen Edwards said it had
been a "very close call" due to swirling winds.
"I looked out my left-hand window and saw
a guy standing on the corner of the building,"
said the 65-year-old, from Egham, Surrey.
"I'd only just seen him and someone said
'can you get the cage on', so that was it,
I got the cage on and got it over to him
the best I could.
"I tried to put the cage down
between him and the flames,
but I was hampered by the wind swirling
around there.
But I got the cage down and I managed
to get him in there."
