The Chattanooga Fire Department is conducting another rescue operation at
the rock quarry at Greenway Farms. Red Shift companies were called to the
park off Gann Store Road at 8:15 PM on 5/27/25 after someone fell more than
30 feet from the side of the quarry, leaving them with a multitude of
injuries. Firefighters made their way into the woods following the high
fall to locate the patient and help stabilize him. They set up a pulley
system to bring the patient up and out of the woods in order for him to be
transported to the hospital. Crews got him packaged and then hooked him up
to the haul system to pull him up. Ladder 19, Squad 19, Squad 7, Engine 11,
Battalion 3, USAR2, Brush Truck 10, UTV 10 and Special Operations responded.
The CFD is urging caution and safe practices at this popular location
moving into the summer months as it’s proven to be very dangerous. We have
made several rescues at this quarry in recent years and these responses
require a lot of manpower and resources. They take several hours to
complete due to the terrain and complex nature of these calls. It’s left
the fall victims with serious injuries. We don’t want to see anyone else
get badly hurt.
