Workers jump to safety when equipment catches fire

BOISE, Idaho (WTVD) -- Two construction workers had to jump to safety when their equipment caught fire.

It happened six stories above the streets of Boise, Idaho on Monday.

Fire officials say a welding blanket caught fire on a scissor lift.

The two men climbed out onto the boom while other workers swung it closer to a walkway.

The pair leapt off to the building just in time.

Doctors treated both for smoke inhalation but they are doing okay.
