Out of his tree, literally

Aldergrove birthday boy makes hard landing, fire dept. called

A man celebrated his 19th birthday by getting inebriated and falling out of a tree in Aldergrove on Sept. 9.

Langley RCMP and Township fire department were called to the 27100 block of 31 Avenue following reports of a drunk man who had climbed so high up a tree he couldn’t get down.

By the time emergency crews had arrived, the intoxicated man had fallen out of the tree and broken his arm, said Township fire department.

He was taken to hospital but appeared to be in good spirits.
