Firefighters are conducting a vertical rescue after a 17-year-old fell from Ginninderra Falls.

ACT Fire & Rescue has three pumpers on scene and another has been called in to provide lighting for the operation.
The man will be lifted to safety and carried by firefighters on a stretcher to the ambulance. Due to the heat and the difficulty of the terrain the rescue may take some time.
The ACT Ambulance Service is also in attendance.
