TWO WINDOW washers have called Emergency Triple Zero (000) after becoming stuck on their platform at a building on Constitution Avenue.

They are safe, however, the system they use to move the vehicle is not responding.

ACT Fire & Rescue have sent the Bronto Aerial Platform and a pumper to assist the window washers.

ACT Ambulance Service is also in attendance.
