The person who was stuck under a relocatable home which fell off its piles has been airlifted to hospital in serious condition.

FENZ shift manager Alison Munn told the Herald crews cut a hole in the floor of the building to extricate the person stuck under the home, about an hour and a half after they were called to the scene at 9.40am.

The house, on Chester Rd, was sitting on piles and somehow fell off them - however the person was not pinned by the building.

A police spokesperson said they are at the scene of what they say is a workplace incident, and one person is being assessed by an ambulance.

WorkSafe will be notified. Enquires are ongoing.
