Chief Mike Aikens said a rigger that supports the truck broke about 2:35 p.m., causing the ladder to fall on the man.
A helicopter landing zone was set up at the fire station on Sherman Street. The man, whom Aikens didn’t identify, was flown to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital.
Information about his condition was not immediately available.
