Emergency Tree Removal: Fast, Safe, and Necessary

Published 6 June 2025 · By KTS Kempsey Tree Services

Storm-damaged tree and fallen pole across a wet street

When a tree falls on your house, car or driveway, it’s stressful. Knowing what to do in the first few minutes keeps you and your family safe.

Step 1: Stay safe

  • Keep people and pets away from the tree and any damaged structures.
  • If powerlines are down or touching the tree, stay well back, assume they’re live and call emergency services on 000 and your network operator.
  • Don’t try to cut or move a tree that’s under tension or resting on a roof.

Step 2: Document the damage

Take photos from a safe distance. They’ll help with insurance claims and let us plan the job before arriving.

Step 3: Call a qualified, insured team

Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable. Limbs can be under tension, trunks can shift and roots can give way. Professionals use rigging and safe cutting methods to take the tree down in controlled sections.
