Madison Firefighters rescued a woman who was stuck in a tree on Thursday. 

The Madison Fire Department sent a crew to the 400 block of Henry Mall to help a 20-year-old UW-Madison student who climbed a tree on the mall according to WISC-TV.

The woman was around eight to nine feet from the ground and could not get down. She strategized for 20 minutes on how to get down before she ultimately decided to call 911 for help.

Firefighters then propped an extension ladder against the tree and the woman was able to climb down without injury.

Once she was down, firefighters asked if she was done climbing trees for the day. She responded, "Maybe."
