Backyard Trucking Company...



Hey Everyone,

Another rainy day here in South Central PA...UGH!

This photo was taken this past Thursday. My company was dispatched to assist on a enviromental rescue of a little boy stuck in a tree. A 5 year old boy was chasing a bird(that's what he told us) and he climbed up a tree in his back yard and before he knew it, realized he was up just a tad too high.

The photo above is of Truck 2-4 from the Eden Fire Company. They have the only tiller in Lancaster County. They are in the neighbors back yard directly behind the little boy's house setting up the aerial to get him. I have to admit, I was not sure they would even fit down the driveway leading to the backyard, but they did and were able to get set up without any problems. The little guy was brought down the ladder safe and sound, just more tired and a little scared then anything...

Has anyone been having problems with doing scheduled postings?? I have tried to do the last few posts that way and when they don't show up, I check and it has them listed as in the draft form...

Have a great day!

I have had no problems with my scheduled postings since July. All mine are done that way sometimes as many as three weeks in advance.

Why did the FD need to get him down? Like cats have you ever seen a young boys skeleton in a tree? They come down when they get hungry, or in this case when he misses the TV set. Should have called T2 we have a gun to shoot things out of trees, LOL.
