Another Person (and Parrot) In Tree |
|
At 1609 on 5 May, Lansing requested Cayuga Heights cover a call for a man in a tree while they were at a serious MVA. 262 and L231 arrived on scene to find a man approximately 30 feet in the air, sitting on a tree branch holding a parrot. The individual was uninjured but unable to get himself out of the tree. Due to the location being in the courtyard, the aerial ladder was unusable. E202 was requested to the scene for its rope rescue equipment. A 35' ground ladder was used to get to the roof. The patient was secured with a webbing harness and a 2:1 highpoint as a safety line and was able to crawl down a roof ladder from the tree to the apartment roof. The bird was rescued unharmed as well. |
