A man has been taken to hospital with back injuries after he fell from scaffolding at a building site in Enniskillen.

It is understood the man, who is in his 40s, fell 10 feet from scaffolding and landed on scaffolding below at the site on the Derrygonnelly Road this morning (Friday).

Two appliances from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) were dispatched and it is believed that fire service personnel used a spinal board to transfer the man to a waiting ambulance to be brought to hospital.
