Rescue at West Norriton Wendy's

A worker injured on the roof was removed by emergency responders.

Emergency responders on Monday afternoon were working to remove an injured worker from the roof of the Wendy's location at 590 South Trooper Road near Egypt Road.

West Norriton Police said a man doing patching work on the roof of the restaurant had broken his ankle.

The Wendy's was closed while the rescue was underway. Traffic in the remainder of the Valley Forge Marketplace shopping center and on surrounding roadways was largely unaffected by the rescue activity.

In addition to Lower Providence Fire Company, Lower Providence Police, West Norriton Police, Jefferson Fire Company, and Plymouth Ambulance were assisting at the scene.

He probably slipped on a Baconator

This place just got rebuilt from the ground-up less than 1 month ago... I can't believe it needed roof work already. Who the hell built it?

I believe the building structure itself was not too changed. A front was added. Something like a roof may (on the old back half) have still needed updating.

well actually Dave , there are 2 homes that are literrally in the direct path of the center line ofRead More the sewer- I'm afraid if the sewer is permitted to go thru they would have to condemn them - the blasting would be so close- I don't think the houses could sustain it- they are built on pillars because their so close to the water- they are beautiful waterfront homes! full of children who go swimming and just love their homes and the creek.. the sewer would go right thru their well water lines and septic systems.. when there is another alternative right across the creek!

they don't care about us or their civic duty- I'm sorry but they made themselves very clear tonightRead More when after 3 yrs of pleading with them and even after DEP caught them in their deceptions with the 537 plan- they still chose to condemn us-- if they could just see the real people whose lives they are ruining forever but i forgot they don't care... well thank you Lower Providence for standing by us and thank you Trappe for standing with us.. Trappe was the only other township who cared!
