Late Friday night in Marion County, a man experienced a mental issue while on a houseboat and was transported to a Chattanooga hospital by LifeForce.
The Haletown Volunteer Fire Department responded to Hale’s Bar Road after receiving reports of a possible stroke. Upon arrival, crews found the man in the sleeper cabin, which was challenging for his removal.
Eventually, LifeForce airlifted him to the hospital, confirming he had suffered a brain aneurysm.
