never let the fire service do tree surgery

[testcricket01]

HI cricket are you any good at putting out fires yes no i think the fire service do a good job with the kit they have jon

 

i dont drive round in a big red truck with lights and sirens and a hose putting out fires, so why should they be allowed to try and bodge felling a tree.

If your home were on fire I bet you would do what you could to put it out or rescue your family. I know I would

If I promise to stick my own personal fires, will the Fire Brigade promise to stick to their own personal trees?

Guys, get a grip, they got the job done in 5 minutes with a small axe and a bit of three strand nylon rope.

 

To compare you would need to put a fire out with a bucket and a domestic water feed, or maybe extract some poor bugger from a mangled car with a tin opener.

 

I do my own plumbing and electrical at home but friends in those trades don’t take the piss out of me. Why is it that some people in this industry are so precious about who they believe can and can’t touch trees?

 

It is after all only a tree.

Couse we can do that, but when your personal fire spreads to the neighbours house...................

Me too!!!

 

I've just built a large above ground pool, it holds around 55000L of water and has a powerful pump, I'm thinking of getting a large bore hose that I could quickly fit to the pump.

 

I reckon that could have a fire out before the FB have even got their boots on.

Totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

People are always taking about fixing their own saws,chippers,trucks, etc.

 

But moan like hell when tree owners do their own trees.

Sounds like a plan to me, assuming you were at home when it happened, and that you didn’t choke on the fumes when you went in to the house to get at the fire

I think they done an ok job, people are to quick to slag them off. Shame they never had the big stihl rescue saw they would have made light work of that stick.

[combined tree services]

personally i think it is quite funn that these guys could not figure out the simpe principles of leverge - something i wold expect them to use in many many rescue situations and fires . But having said that Where were the Tree Surgeons too ??? nowhere to be seen !!
