Windy Conditions Could Cause Downed Trees

With very cold air and winds between 30 and 40 miles an hour being predicted for the North Ga Mountains today, conditions could be just right for falling trees. Captain Justin Upchurch of the Rabun County Fire Department reminds you of what to do if you come across a downed tree…

“Call 911, advise of the location and the situation, don’t attempt to move the tree due to possible power-line involvement. The dispatchers at 911 will dispatch appropriate authorities to handle the downed tree.”
