A firefighter had to rappel down a Beaver County cliff on Sunday to rescue a man who had fallen.

At about 9 a.m., the Beaver Falls Fire Department responded to the area of 21st Street and Fifth Avenue after a man fell about 50 feet, according to the fire department.

After a firefighter got to the victim and determined he had been injured and possibly suffering from hypothermia, crews lifted him up the cliff in a Stokes basket.
