A worker fell out of a bucket truck Thursday morning as he cut tree limbs, said Tulsa Fire.

Firefighters got the call just before noon in the 200 block of East 57th Street North.

Firefighters say the 54-year-old man wasn't wearing a harness at the time.  He leaned out and fell about 25 feet.

A co-worker said the man had 20 years of experience and was surprised the man wasn't wearing his harness. The worker said they both worked for Trees by the Forest.

EMSA took the man to the hospital in serious condition.
