Northland firefighters rescued a man from a tree last night after he was injured by a large falling branch while he operated a chainsaw.
Emergency services worked into the night to rescue the man, who was in his 40s, after St John was called at 5.29pm.
A St John spokeswoman
said the man was working at a property on Hoyle Rd, Arapohue, about 10km southwest of Dargaville.
He had been chainsawing pine trees when he was struck by the branch, an Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter spokesman said.
