Unusual Rescue

 

 

 July 10, 2010. At 1411 hours IVT 38, Station 3, and Rescue Squad 9 (Reese) were alerted for a subject stuck in a tree. Tower 3, Engine 32, and IVT 38 arrived to find a patient stuck in a tree approx. 15 feet in the air. The patient was cutting a large tree branch down, when it fell and landed on him. The male then became entangled in the tree unable to free himself. Crews utilized Tower 3's bucket to remove the patient from the tree and transported him to awaiting EMS. Units were back in service within the hour.
