PULASKI COUNTY - A man is recovering from serious injuries after falling from a cliff, according to Waynesville Fire officials.
According to a Facebook post from the Waynesville Rural Fire Protection District (WRFPD), the crew was dispatched to an undisclosed location around 11:30 a.m. Monday. Pulaski 911 was unable to give a precise location of where the male patient fell, due to poor phone reception in the area.Â
Upon arrival, the WRFPD found a male patient who was approximately 300 feet up the hillside at the bottom of the rock cliff he was climbing on, the Facebook post said.Â
Rescuers ascended the hill and secured the patient. They then were able to perform a technical rope rescue and removed the injured person from the hillside, according to WTFPD.

There were no injuries and no damage to government property, but a huge natural-cover fire consumed more than 1,700 acres of grass and trees March 31 in and around Range 19.
Firefighters determined tracer rounds fired on the range sparked the blaze.
According to an incident report from the Fort Leonard Wood Fire Department, personnel battled the blaze for more than 12 hours after getting the call at about 10:30 a.m. Crews with the department’s Squad 1782 and Brush 1772 were first on scene, where they found 2 acres on fire near the range’s Dud Impact Area, which hampered efforts.
