ALERT: Helicopter rescues a tree trimmer from the top of a tree after he suffers a medical emergency and fell unconscious. A tree trimmer working in San Jose suffered a medical emergency, leaving him unconscious and stuck on top of the tree. Unable to help from the ground, the San Jose Fire Department called in a Cal Fire helicopter to help rescue the man. Assistant Fire Chief James Dobson stated, “This is the first time they have done an aerial pick off of a tree of this type. We are typically able to gain access from our aerial apparatus so this is a unique event.” After about an hour, the man was cut free and lowered to the ground. He was conscious during transport but in serious condition, according to authorities. ]]> Mon 27 Apr 2026 22:13:06 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614738/alert-helicopter-rescues-a-tree-trimmer-from-the-top-of-a-tree-after-he-suffers-a-me/
