A palm tree employee is very thankful that the Tucson Fire Department came to his aid on Wednesday when he was trimming a palm tree on Harrison Avenue. The man who needed help from the firefighters did not give out his name. It is evident that either a concerned citizen or the man himself was able to call 9 1 1 to contact the fire department that was stuck on a palm tree and he needed some help to get to the ground. The man who was working on the palm tree was stuck in the air by his harness this needed the assistance of the firefighters to rescue him from his dangerous problem. Tucson Fire Department Fire Chief Andy Skaggs and his crew were able to use a ladder to assist the man get back to the ground safe and sound. The man who was rescued by the firefighters refused to be taken to a hospital. He decided to stay around to clean the palm tree debris.

That must have been a scary situation for him, to be hanging from his harness.

It really was since when the man came down with the help of the firemen, he was really appreciative for their work of saving his life.

That would not be fun. Glad he was able to contact EMTs.

You are correct since working on trees is not for everyone.

There is a song by Kenny Chesney and Willie Nelson called "Coconut Tree" and it is all about being "way up high in a coconut tree". Makes me smile every time I hear it. I'd love to be that either way you take the meaning of the song.

I like good tunes regardless of the artist.

Tree trimming can be precarious.
