On February 3, 2024 at approximately 1117 hours, area first responders and law enforcement responded to the report of a male who’d been struck by a falling tree at a recreational property located approximately 10 miles north of Chisholm. The 66-year old victim had been clearing trees while seated on a tractor and was transported by ambulance to Fairview Range Hospital in Hibbing with what are believed to be serious injuries.
