Types of Tree Emergencies We Handle
Storm-damaged trees represent our most common emergency calls, with severe weather creating numerous hazards including fallen trees, broken branches, and partially uprooted trees. New England storms can produce high winds, ice accumulation, and heavy snow loads that exceed trees’ structural capacity, resulting in sudden failures that block roads, damage structures, and create ongoing safety risks. Our storm response teams are experienced in safely removing damaged trees while protecting surrounding property.
Fallen trees blocking access routes require immediate attention to restore normal traffic flow and emergency vehicle access. Trees fallen across driveways, streets, and parking areas can trap residents, prevent emergency services access, and disrupt normal activities. Our emergency crews prioritize access restoration, using chainsaws and rigging equipment to clear blocked routes safely and efficiently.
Power line emergencies require coordination with utility companies and specialized safety procedures due to electrocution risks. Trees in contact with power lines can energize the entire tree, creating deadly hazards for anyone in the vicinity. We work exclusively with utility companies on these emergencies, never attempting to remove trees from power lines without utility company coordination and approval.
Our Emergency Response Process
Initial emergency assessment begins with a detailed phone conversation to understand the scope and urgency of your tree emergency. Our emergency dispatch team gathers essential information including the nature of the emergency, safety hazards present, access requirements, and any immediate dangers to people or property. This information enables us to dispatch the appropriate crew and equipment for your specific situation.
Rapid deployment of emergency crews follows established protocols that prioritize the most urgent situations while ensuring efficient resource allocation. Our emergency response teams are strategically located throughout the service area, enabling rapid response regardless of your location. Emergency vehicles are pre-loaded with essential equipment and can be supplemented with specialized equipment as needed for complex situations.
On-site safety assessment precedes all emergency work, with crew leaders conducting thorough evaluations of hazards and developing safe work plans. Emergency situations often involve multiple hazards including electrical dangers, structural instability, and environmental hazards that require careful evaluation before work begins. Safety assessment includes establishing work zones, identifying escape routes, and implementing appropriate safety measures.
Equipment and Safety For Emergency Operations
Specialized emergency equipment enables safe, efficient operations in challenging conditions that would be impossible with standard tree care equipment. Our emergency response fleet includes portable floodlights for nighttime operations, portable generators for power tools in areas without electricity, and specialized rigging equipment for controlling tree removal in confined spaces or around damaged structures.
Advanced cutting equipment includes high-powered chainsaws capable of cutting through large tree trunks quickly, pole saws for reaching elevated branches safely, and reciprocating saws for precision cutting in tight spaces. All cutting equipment is maintained in peak condition and tested regularly to ensure reliable operation during emergency calls when equipment failure could create additional hazards.
Aerial access equipment provides safe access to elevated emergency situations including trees on roofs, power lines, and other elevated hazards. Our emergency response includes bucket trucks and aerial lifts that enable crews to reach emergency situations safely while maintaining proper clearances from hazards. Aerial equipment is essential for safely addressing many emergency situations.
