Firefighters in trees

Simulation of someone needing to be rescued from a tree

First of all, if your cat is stuck in a tree, don't call the fire department. Not their job. Instead call Canopy Cat Rescue.

However, if your arborist, child, husband or any other human gets stuck in a tree, call the fire department.

Shoreline Fire department is training for the latter scenario all this week on the CRISTA campus on Fremont Ave N.
