Man Rescued After He Lands Parachute In Tree 60 Ft From The Ground
HOLLIS, NH — A man who was parachuting from a plane that took off from Skydive Pepperell made an unplanned landing Sunday about 60 feet up in a tree and could not free himself
Hollis Fire, police, and Pepperell Fire responded to the area of Rundels Bridge Road near the Pepperell town line. When they arrived, they began to evaluate the best way to access the man who said he was uninjured. Hollis Fire brought the ladder truck to a field and maneuvered it as close to the tree line. The ladder was extended so the man could safely move from the tree to the ladder truck’s bucket. He was brought to the ground, where he was evaluated by EMS and refused medical treatment.
Firefighters worked to free the parachute from the tree and return the parachute to the man who remained at the scene.
