US EditionCrews Rescue San Jose Tree Worker in Distress Dangling From Tree
Cal Fire lowered a rescuer to the worker and then lifted both to the ground as officials said he remained in life-threatening condition.
- On Friday morning, a San Jose tree trimmer suffered a medical emergency while suspended 75 feet up a palm tree, prompting an aerial rescue by the San Jose Fire Department and Cal Fire.
- The worker remained stuck for 90 minutes near the 2900 block of Sunburst Drive after his medical issue began; standard ground-based ladders could not safely reach the height, forcing an aerial approach.
- A Cal Fire helicopter crew lowered a rescuer to secure the man while he hung 75 feet above the ground, then safely transported both to the surface for immediate medical transport.
- The victim remains in critical condition at a local hospital; Assistant Fire Chief James Dobson called the operation a "unique event," marking his first aerial tree rescue in 25 years of service.
- Because the incident occurred on the job, officials anticipate a pending investigation by Cal/OSHA; authorities had instructed the public to avoid the area during the Friday rescue operation.
