A man had to be rescued after falling unconscious while working on a FedEx fuel tank at LAX.

The Los Angeles Fire Department was called out to the FedEx Express Hub, 5927 W. Imperial Highway, at about 12:40 a.m. to help a 30-year-old man who had been pulled unconscious from inside an aircraft fuel tank while he was performing maintenance.

Five other people were also evaluated by firefighters, but were not taken to the hospital.

The man was taken to a hospital in unknown condition. It’s not clear what type of maintenance work the man was doing.
