Firefighters rescue paratrooper stuck in tree near Camp Atterbury

EDINBURGH, Ind. - Firefighters might have a reputation for saving cats stuck in trees, but what about a National Guardsman?




On Friday morning, a paratrooper's landing didn't go exactly as planned at Camp Atterbury. Instead of floating peacefully back to solid ground, the guardsman's chute tangled in some tree limbs - leaving them stranded a few dozen feet in the air.
