The 56-year-old man was trimming the tree in the 2300 block Seneca Street when he became stuck. A large section of the tree that had been cut knocked into him and caused him to slip, a ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Fire Department news release said.

“He was then pinned face down into a fork of the main tree trunk higher up,� the news release said.

Upon arrival at 4:01 p.m., firefighters had trouble spotting the man as some of the trimmings had fallen on him.

TFD responded to a home near ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Blvd & Grant for a rescue of a man stuck in a eucalyptus tree. He was rescued from the tree & transported to the hospital. No word on the extent of injuries but he was alert/responsive to FFs & Paramedics on scene.
