Zone 3 Rescue for Tree into House: (Federal Way) On Tuesday, January 9th at 00:23 hours, E333 was dispatched to a Zone 3 Technical Rescue for a tree into a house. En route, there were reports of 5 trapped victims at the scene, which was a residential adult family home. On scene, VRFA, South King Fire, and Puget Sound Fire Rescue Technicians stabilized the tree trunks (up to 24″ in diameter). There were three trees. Firefighters then packaged, treated, and extricated five patients. All occupants were successfully rescued from the house, and after an assessment, the trees were left in place. Due to the massive size and technical nature of removing them, an arborist or logger would be necessary.
