KAYSVILLE, Utah, March 19, 2025 (Gephardt Daily) — Crews from multiple agencies responded to a Kaysville residence Wednesday after a person trimming trees was found suspended from a harness, unresponsive, 30 feet off the ground.
The call came to dispatch at 9:34 a.m., a Kaysville Fire news release says.
