Stuck 30 feet in the air and trapped by a limb from a tree he was cutting, a Harford County man found himself stuck and calling for help.

Using equipment borrowed from a neighbor, Harford County first responders pulled off an unusual rescue.

Around 10 a.m. Wednesday, multiple fire department and police units were sent to assist a man that was trapped by a 20-foot-long branch against a tree that he was trimming. Along with volunteer firefighters, the Maryland State Police Aviation Command and a Harford County special operations team responded due to the complexity of the incident, officials said.

A neighboring farm was called to bring his hydraulic lift for assistance. The Harford County MD Fire & EMS service said in a Facebook post the tree was about 50 feet behind the home with no hard surface to access it. The Banner reached out to the owner of the farm but did not get a response by Thursday evening.

“The lift was used to lift part of the tree off of the patient while rescuers worked on a plan to get him down,” the release said.

After the path was cleared, a hook and ladder truck was able to reach the man with its ladder.

Brittany Pro, who said on Facebook she lives in that neighborhood, said the man, whose identity has not been released, was shouting for help. On a video posted along with her comment on social media, a man can be heard yelling as a truck raises a ladder toward the tree.

“Thank goodness they were able to save him!” Pro wrote.

The man suffered minor injuries and refused transport to the hospital after being checked by paramedics, officials said. The inclement weather grounded the medevac helicopter, with officials then responding on land.

The Maryland Department of Labor and the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health’s Division of Labor and Industry are investigating the incident.
