Arkansas City Fire/EMS Responds to Tree-Related Fall

Arkansas City Fire/EMS responded to a call involving a 37-year-old man who was injured in a fall while trimming a tree in the 600 block of North C Street.

At approximately 4:38 p.m. on December 27, 2025, the man fell an estimated 30 to 35 feet from the tree. He sustained non-life-threatening injuries to his lower legs and lower back.

Because the incident occurred about four blocks from the Fire/EMS station, responders transported the patient to the Arkansas City Fire/EMS Department, where an open field adjacent to the station was used for the EagleMed air ambulance landing. EagleMed then assumed care, and the patient was airlifted to Wichita for further medical evaluation and treatment.
