(KSL News) South Salt Lake fire crews made a tricky rescue today. They freed a man trapped on his roof after his chimney collapsed on him.

The man and a friend were trying to put in a new air-conditioning unit. They used the chimney as an anchor to pull the unit up with ropes, but the chimney gave way.
