Mason County crews rescue parachutist stuck in tree
SHELTON, Wash. - Central Mason Fire & EMS rescued a parachutist who got stuck high up in a tree in Shelton over the weekend.
Rescue crews say the man was stuck in trees next to the Mason County Recreational Area, having avoided hitting the "high-capacity Bonneville Powerlines."
The area was swampy, so crews had to use a 35-foot ground ladder instead of a ladder truck.
Thankfully, the parachutist was uninjured and was able to walk himself down the ladder.
It's unclear what caused him to crash.
