A teenager fell through a grate at the abandoned Ford plant Saturday night, plunging 20 feet down into a basement, according to St. Paul fire officials.

At about 8 p.m. Saturday, the St. Paul Fire Department dispatched its Technical Rescue Team to the former Ford plant at  965 Mississippi River Boulevard south after a caller reported the teen had fallen into the basement and was unable to walk, according to St. Paul Fire Deputy Chief and public information officer Jamie E. Smith, Sr.

The crews arrived, they found the teen by accessing the ground level door. The teen was conscious and alert with “multiple non-life threatening injuries” and was taken to a local hospital, Smith said.

No technical rescue was required, he said.
