Hall County man rescued after tree falls on home

Hall County Fire Services rescued a man from a mobile home Tuesday night after a tree fell on the home.

Crews arrived at the home at 325 Highland Terrace at 9 p.m., where they found a man in his mid-40's was trapped underneath the tree. 

"The first arriving units... found a very large tree on one end of the mobile home with the subject underneath the tree," Fire Capt. Zach Brackett said. "The tree was actually on top of him."

The other occupant of the single-wide mobile home had self-extricated, and Brackett said the person was not injured.

"It did produce significant structural damage to the home," Brackett said.

Brackett said responding crews used air bags, heavy-duty jacks and cribbing to remove the tree off the man, who was then transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center.

Brackett was not able to release the man's current condition.

Gainesville Fire also responded as automatic aid.
