Friday, April 2, at approximately 3pm, the Spokane Fire Department responded to the area of Rockwood and Helena Ct on a report of a tree trimmer injured approximately 75 feet up in a tree. Crews arrived to find a single victim at the top of ponderosa pine. The victim was harnessed at the top of the tree and unable to effect a self rescue.

Members of the Spokane Fire Department Technical Rescue team quickly assembled a plan to gain access to the victim and safely remove him. One technical rescue member quickly climbed to the top of the tree to assess the condition of the victim and begin the plan to lower him to waiting medical crews.
