A 1-year-old was reportedly left in critical condition on Tuesday after a redwood tree fell onto a Boulder Creek home.
Boulder Creek Fire Chief Mark Bingham said that the child is conscious and breathing, according to KRON 4.
The Santa Cruz County home is located on Bobcat Lane. Crews found the tree had blown over into the house’s living room, pinning the child.
Bingham said Cal Fire and Boulder Creek Fire Department crews had to remove the tree to rescue the child.
