A hunter was taken to the hospital on Saturday after falling from a tree stand in Armstrong County.
The South Buffalo VFD says emergency crews were called to a remote area of North Buffalo Township near Johnston and Winfield roads just before 7 a.m.
On Saturday, shortly before 7 AM, South Buffalo 220 was dispatched to a remote area of North Buffalo Township near Johnston and Winfield for a hunter who fell from a tree stand. The terrain was rough and steep making the use of side by sides necessary.
Thank you to Worthington West Franklin volunteer fire department for the buggy used for extrication, WKFD Station 240 for the manpower on scene, and Freeport Fire-EMS for manning the landing zone for STAT MedEvac and providing patient care. We also want to extend our gratitude to the numerous hunters who left their posts to lend a hand.
Our members had time to enjoy some steak and eggs for breakfast before being alerted to a residence to assist EMS with patient extrication.
