Fredericksburg first responders rescued an individual struck by a tree on Wednesday afternoon.
At approximately 1:30 PM, a call was received for an individual who was struck by a tree in the area of Gunnery Road near the Walker-Grant Center.
On the scene, members of the Fredericksburg Fire Department were observed entering a path into the woods with a chainsaw, gurney and additional rescue equipment. Radio traffic stated that the individual, who was initially trapped, was freed a short time later by emergency personnel.
