Key West, Florida, is a perfect place for beaches, sun and fun, but sometimes too much fun can land you in a world of trouble - or inside of a tree.

While attempting to seize the day and climb a sprawling banyan, a Key West woman became stuck in its roots and had to be removed by local police, according to the Miami Herald. Firefighters responded to the call Sunday, which described the woman stuck in a tree across from the Westin Resort.

"We laddered the tree and [were] able to pull her out of the hole she fell into," Key West Fire Department Captain Michael Budde told the Herald. He says it took seven minutes to free the woman.

The police shared the story on their Facebook Tuesday along with a photo of the woman wedged into the limbs of the tree.

"They popped her out like a cork," a spokesperson for the Key West Police Department told Local 10.

The woman was not named, but she did explain her decision to climb the tree to the Herald.

"It looked fun," she said. One witness described her as being at least 30 years old.

Older banyan trees are characterized by their aerial prop roots which grow into thick, woody trunks. These trees can spread laterally and cover a wide area.
