CARNATION, Wash. — Eastside Fire & Rescue worked tirelessly to rescue a man who was trapped in a camper when a tree fell on top of it.
EFR posted about the incident around 9 p.m. on Wednesday.
The tree fell onto the camper near 1100 Lake Joy Road NE in Carnation.
According to EFR, trees and powerlines were blocking access to the person trapped, and they were “continuing to fall in the area,” which complicated the rescue.
KIRO 7 was on scene as crews pulled the man out nearly two hours later.
A friend on scene told KIRO 7 that the victim was talking when he was rescued, however, EFR said that he has “life-threatening injuries.”
According to EFR, the tree was nearly 5 feet in diameter and 70 feet tall.
