VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Firefighters in Virginia Beach performed a "high angle rescue" on Sunday morning, after a man became stuck in a tree!
The Virginia Beach Fire Department said crews were called out to a report of a man who was about 40 feet up in a tree. The man also was reportedly suffering from a medical issue.
A firefighter went up the tree where the man was assessed, secured to a new rope system, and carefully lowered down to the ground. He was out of the tree and on his way to the hospital about an hour after the call to 911 was dispatched.
There's no word at this time on the man's current condition, or how he got up into the tree in the first place.
