a builder had to be rescued from scaffolding after his leg was lacerated by an electric saw in Bushey.
Firefighters from Watford station were called to the house on Herkomer Close after the accident happened at around 10.25am on Monday.
the builder, who was said to be in his 30s, was injured while carrying out work on a house in the close.
Crew Commander Paul Seear, said: “He was cutting with a fast cutter, one with a circular blade that cuts metal, when it jumped back and went into his upper thigh.
“He was about 25ft up the scaffolding and had serious bleeding.”
He said the paramedics were unable to reach the builder so firefighters used a raised platform to get to him.
Mr Seear added: “We went up in an aerial platform, put him in that and brought him down.
“He was quite calm.”
the builder was then taken to Watford General Hospital.

My neighbor is letting his seven year old son cut down tree branches with a hand saw. He's standing right there with him, but seriously. It's so easy for him to cut him thumb off or something. That's ridiculous! should I do something? they always do things like this (they are rednecks), but I think its getting out of control.
ahh let em. its only when they come round wanting to chop you up that i would worry
Only if he knows what he is doing lol
I am not sure what you can do, but 7 is WAY too young
you said a hand saw, its not like its a chainsaw or something, and if the father is standing right there……..i mean, its their child, they have a right to teach it what they want to, i would be worried if he were playing with a saw and no one was around, but being supervised seems safe……….you tho seem nosy………
I wouldn't. But I'd mind my own business too.
Better not let him cut his own steak then either. you called him a redneck. What do you think he would call you?
Yes, if supervise I see no harm.
