After failing to lure the man down using a megaphone, the rescue crew placed inflatable mattresses underneath in case he fell. Unfortunately, however, the man kept on walking around, making the firefighters’ work that much harder.

After a while, hopeless firefighters called in a cherry picker for reinforcement. The man and several other firefighters climbed on the surrounding trees and waited to ‘ambush’ the drunken man.
