Firefighter Rushed To The Hospital After Part Of Tree Fell In Daugherty Township

Local officials say a firefighter will be okay after being rushed to the hospital this morning after part of a tree fell on crews responding to a report of power lines down in Daugherty Township. The crews were called out for a report of power lines down when the tree branch, described as being 12 to 14 feet long, fell. Three firefighters were in the path of that falling branch but only one was seriously hurt. The extent of the firefighter’s injuries is unclear but officials say he will be fine. The victim’s name is not being released. Part of Tyler Lane was closed for a while until Duquesne Light crews were able to respond.
