SHELTON, CT - At 1:35pm on March 26, 2024, the Shelton Fire Department was dispatched to Meghan Court for the rescue of a tree worker stuck in a tree approximately 40ft up with a traumatic injury. Ground ladders were immediately placed and a rope system was assembled. Shelton’s Tower 3 also shot the bucket to the worker and rescuers. Members of the FD were then able to release the worker from his harness and place him in a stokes and into the bucket for lowering, all the while administering EMS care for his injuries.

Good for you having enough respect for the victim to not show him.

What rescue?

[@FIREGROUNDIMAGES]

I hear what you are saying. Although I would have ideally covered the actual rescue and it's technical operations as I always try to do for the betterment of the fire service and it's members, unfortunately for this scene, this is all I was comfortable covering out of respect for the victim. Every scene is different and you have to make certain 'calls' on what you are comfortable covering. I hope you understand.

@@FIREGROUNDIMAGES I understand that thank you for the coverage and it must’ve been hell getting somebody out of a tree that looks like what must’ve happened

[@FIREGROUNDIMAGES]

​@DavidGlaum You got it David. He sustained a traumatic injury while cutting and needed to be taken down. He was 40 ft up and in a bad location as far as access and high point options for the rescuers. They really worked hard and did the best with the situation they had.
