Description
A woman was killed in Fall City on Monday morning after a tree fell on her, Eastside Fire and Rescue confirmed.
Just before 9 a.m., first responders were dispatched to a Fall City residence and attempted to perform CPR on a woman in her 50s who had a tree fall on her.
The woman was unable to be resuscitated after over 20 minutes of CPR and was declared deceased.
Eastside Fire believes high winds did play a factor and said it is responding to calls all over the region of downed trees and power lines.
Catherine Breault with Eastside Fire and Rescue said gusts of up to 50 mph were recorded in the Cascade foothills.
“It’s just not safe out there,” Breault said. “Trees down in the roadways powerlines, arching, sparking transformer fires all those things that we see happen when we get that really windy weather.”
Breault said her crews also assisted with the nearby Fall City Fire Department.
Breault said she feels for the woman's family and said unfortunately, this isn't the first deadly Wind Advisory this area has seen.
“Last year we saw a fatality out in Fall City on the state route out there, a tree on top of a car. We see it occasionally we do see fatalities related to the weather here,” she said.
A Wind Advisory was in effect for most of Puget Sound through Monday at noon. In the east Puget Sound lowlands, sustained winds of 25 to 35 miles per hour with gusts up to 50 mph were expected.
