PSA: We would like to formally acknowledge the exceptional contributions of Levi and Tim. Their expertise in tree arborist trimming was instrumental in extricating the vehicle from the tree, facilitating the wrecker driver's efforts. Furthermore, Levi deserves additional commendation for his exemplary assistance to the wrecker driver in relocating the vehicle from the incident site to the roadside. This is yet another instance of our firefighters exceeding expectations in their support of other agencies, which helps to ensure a more seamless operation.
