Calgary firefighters rescue man from tree in Highland Park

There was some high drama for an arborist who got stuck in a tree in northwest Calgary on Tuesday.

Firefighters were called to Highland Park around 4:45 p.m. after reports a man was injured and couldn’t climb down from a large tree.

EMS said the man, in his early 30s, was working more than 12 metres up the tree trying to prune the top of it when it fell the wrong way and hit him.

The Calgary fire department’s high angle rescue team was called in and managed to bring him down.

The man is in stable condition but suffered an injury to his shoulder.
