A 1-year-old boy is in critical condition Tuesday after a redwood tree fell into his home in Boulder Creek, firefighters say.
The child was conscious and breathing on his own when they transferred him to an ambulance that took him to Dominican Hospital Santa Cruz.
“The patient wasn't going to be able to be removed without removing that tree, so we had crews on top of the roof and inside the structure, in the living room, where they were ultimately cutting away that weight and removing that off the patient,” said Boulder Creek Fire District Chief Mark Bingham.Get a weekly recap of the latest San Francisco Bay Area housing news.
