A Fairfield man died Monday afternoon while trying to move a storm-downed tree with a tractor, according to Fairfield police.
Police were called to a location on Norridgewock Road at about 3:34 p.m. for a report of a seriously injured man.
First responders determined that the man, whose name has not been released pending notification of his next of kin, had been moving a storm-downed tree with a tractor when the tree struck and killed him.
Two people have reportedly died as a result of Monday’s storm. The first was a Windham man who was attempting to remove debris from his roof when a branch fell on him.
