DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Dallas Fire-Rescue rescued two window washers from the Prosperity Bank building where they were dangling apart from their scaffold fourteen floors above the ground.

Their scaffold was still dangling from the 15-story building as the hour-long rescue ended during cloudy conditions with wind gusts topping 15 mph.

Authorities are trying to determine what caused the scaffold to give way.

Dallas Fire-Rescue teams were able to reach one of the stranded workers and pull him to the roof. CBS11 showed a live stream via Facebook as an emergency responder reached the other man, who was lowered to the ground with the help of a harness.

Medical personnel examined both men. Their names and further details about them weren't immediately released.
