We’ve all heard stories about firefighters rescuing cats in trees, but this is the first we’ve heard of them going up to get U.S. Army Paratroopers. Based on the photos coming out, it looks like the soldiers’ parachutes got caught on some pretty tall pine trees. We’re just glad that everyone involved is safe. A local news report said that the paratroopers are “OK but are unable to get down on their own.”
