Emergency crews were called in for a high-angle rescue of a tree trimmer Monday in Orlando.
The man was working 30 feet in the air at Tampa Avenue and Carter Street near the Citrus Bowl.
He was cutting a branch when it fell and hit him in the chest. Firefighters used a ladder truck to bring him down from the tree.
The man was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, but there's no word yet on his injuries.
