Man climbs into hollow tree trunk, gets stuck

California – Firefighters rescued a man stuck inside the hollow trunk of a tree. Orange County Fire Authority Battalion Chief Kris Concepcion said the man climbed into a hole in a tree, which led to a hollow trunk 4 to 5 feet underground. “Why he’s in a tree, I have no idea,” Concepcion told the Register. Capt. Mark Stone told The Times that when emergency crews arrived to the Laguna Hills creek bed, the man’s head was sticking out of the tree. It was unclear how long he had been stuck, Stone said, but his screams caught the attention of passers-by, who alerted deputies.  more
