A crew from Ventura City Fire’s Medic Truck 5, supported by personnel from both agencies, used an aerial ladder to bring the individuals down.
No injuries were reported, and neither person required medical attention.
The incident underscored the interoperability between Ventura City Fire and Ventura County Fire, which officials said enables seamless fire, rescue and EMS response across jurisdictional lines.
