On March 22nd, a routine tree-trimming job took a perilous turn for one worker in Florida, necessitating a daring rescue operation by local firefighters. The St. Lucie County Fire District sprang into action after receiving a distress call around 2 p.m., alerting them to a tree trimmer trapped approximately 30 feet above ground in a malfunctioning bucket truck.

Upon arrival, firefighters discovered the trimmer suspended in the air, unable to descend due to the malfunctioning lift. Undeterred by the challenging circumstances, the rescue team swiftly deployed a second bucket truck to reach the stranded individual.

After carefully maneuvering into position, firefighters successfully retrieved the tree trimmer, ensuring his safe return to solid ground.
